Looking for Ripples

image via here

I am ready. to jump. I am.
simply waiting,
for someone to hold my hand
as I look into the deep end.
Meanwhile,
I wade into the shallow end, splashing,
smiling.
but still waiting,
always glancing to the other side,
of the nearly endless mirror
wanting to see the little ripples
that this moment will create,
when he arrives.
For now,
I will smile. I will.
