Uncertainties

Sometimes I feel like a child looking for attention. It's like waiting all day for your parents to come home from work and then not being sure how to act. It's as though your heart is overflowing with love and affection, you're so happy to see them, but you're uncertain, of how to act and what to say. You miss them. But you see how they look tired, and perhaps they just want to be left alone and given some space. And you're that person, who's been waiting all day, and still waiting.
