He woke up many
Hours later, bleary-eyed
And somehow lonely.

He dragged his body
Up and out of the chair, but
Did not make it far.

Today was, as he
Decided, a lazy day
And one to forget.

It took her quite some
Time to fall asleep that night; her
Mind was occupied.

She awoke the next
Morning and made the choice to
Go back to the trees.

So there Donna sat,
Exactly where she had met
The stranger before.

And so she sat, and
Waited. Hours went by with
Nary a human.

Tired, she went to
A nearby tree and carved there:
"I waited for you."

He strode past windows,
Each shouting out at him their
Own advertisements.

On occasion he
Would turn to glance at the screens,
None interesting.

She was a stranger,
Why did he care so much? Would
He see her again?

Regardless, he still
Felt a little lonely on
The way to his house.

He made it home, and
Proceeded to sit in a
Chair to do nothing.
