I know you very well.
I know what makes you angry.
I know when you are lying,
And when you tell the truth.
Nothing you do surprises me.
You are an easy book to read.
And yet.
I sit here waiting.
Hoping you will show.
Hoping you will beep.
Hoping you will lean against the passenger door.
Hoping your mouth will hint at a smile.
My hope is not rational.
I know you very well.
