The Swimmer.

Feeling excited for the first time in years
This is not a simulation
Although I will still wait at least a year or so
And a year can be a long time
Although I often say it isn't
It is.
Nonetheless
I will happily
Patiently
Wait
Because I know what waits for me
And I will feel genuiely happy again
As if life hadn't been punching me
Beating me
Scaring me
And burring me
No time for sadness
Happy thoughts and happy smiles only
Time will go by
Fly
And I will finally have what I am missing.
