I glance at my phone,
Hoping to see a message from you,
But no, it’s empty,
And I tell my heart, “It’s okay.”
I hold on to hope,
That something might arrive soon,
But still, nothing,
And I whisper, “It’s okay.”
Time passes slowly,
The silence grows long,
But I remain patient,
Saying softly, “It’s okay.”
The wait lingers on,
A quiet ache in my chest,
Yet I smile gently,
And tell myself, “It’s okay.”
In the stillness of the day,
I find comfort within,
Even without a message,
I remind my heart, “It’s okay.”
How do you find peace in moments of waiting and uncertainty?

Beautifully written, Roksana ~ and it matches the mood of the painting you included so well.

Checking the phone regularly, scrolling for hours on the internet to find something he might intersting. Sending him a seemingly random text and the frustration on not receiving a reply from him for days.
The first thing i look for in the morning is to see if he has replied. It isn’t until the 5th day that i can finally let go of the fact that he has not and will not reply.
Good to know I’m not the only one going through all of this

A lovely poem, Roksana. It’s an excellent reflection of the emotions we feel when uncertain, anxious, and perhaps a bit lonely.
I think distraction is the best way to offset those feelings. I’ll work on something creative if I can. If not, like if I’m out in public, then I’ll people-watch…I pick random people out of the crowd and make up stories about them, where they’re going, where they’ve been, things like that. It’s not a perfect escape, but it helps.

“its ok” does not work for me. I wish it did. How do I comfort myself when i’m restless or anxious? Distractions help some. For a while. – Yes, its not pleasant waiting to hear from another. I hope I dont do that to others but perhaps I do and not aware of it. Oh dear, they need to speak up.
My mother does and as soon as I arrive, she tells me that she was thinking I was taking too long and then I feel bad she has suffered from my absence. Sadly, sometimes I am not able to spare her that pain.
And I am all too familiar w that feeling as I worry about others often. When I know someone is coming to see me, I sit at the window – just like ur image above – 😀 and peek through the shutters. And my heart gets distressed if the eta is delayed. 😞 but when I see familar headlights, I start jumping n whooping 👏💗💗

Story of my life right now, in quite a number of things. But we wait. There’s nothing else to do, more also when it’s beyond your control. You hope, it will eventually come about.
Thank you for a little piece of writing that captured the feeling well. Also, that display pic is apt👍🏿
