The Wait Is Over

After a cliche` day at school
I headed off to bowl
Though I suddenly felt different today,
And it caused me to feel whole

As I arrived at the alley
Everything seemed the same
We put on the same green shirts
And played the same old game

But this day would be different
And yet I didn't know why
Until I got your call
And my heart began to fly

The first time in months
We finally spoke again
It only lasted seconds
But it was a perfect ten

Like a burden lifted off of me
I was breathing through my pores
Coach let me bowl the final frame
And I rocketed my scores

This was a natural high for me
And it I will never forget
I thank you V
Whole-heartedly
For the day we finally met
