Poem - Silent observer of a next door girl

I have heard many

saying waiting is a bliss

I don't validate such things 

Until once I listened to it,

From my very close one.

Waiting;

everyday his call did not mean much to her;

which gradually reduced to,

a call: a week.

That too on Saturday;

Saturday : Eve

The time was meant for him

(as a keen observer I would watch every move of her)

Sometimes going crazy,

she would start her dinner preparation

very earlier: you may laugh.

Sometimes she started it by six and a half,

His call,

The tone she has is same for everyone:

but his call gives a raffle to her heart 

and she somehow finds the difference 

Days passed

It was another Monday; And guess what

She was waiting for Saturday.

But to her disappointment,

There was no call from him

She went deep down: as though her energy exhausted  

in a second.

But there was a surprise staying for the next day

and his call reached her,

which went on for hours as usual 

and ended with smiles and laughter.

Days continued ,

with good morning and good night messages.

It was another Monday.

As usual she was waiting for her Sunday,

as it is now a revised schedule.

This time, again a deep Surprise shattered her

but not a happy one.

Saturdays passed 

leaving Sunday ; which soon passed,

leaving shock behind,

not keeping the phone down

unlocking her phone every second,

in anxiety whether she has missed any of his calls

going through the settings,

checking the sound system,

checking her internet connection, 

and his status ,

whether she has missed anyone.

Somehow trying to guess his mindset

But all her efforts in vain;

Adding to the blue,

another week ended without the expected call.

And now, two days ahead 

but she was still waiting,

with all her guesses.

that he might be busy with his works

or locked up with any other responsibilities

consoling her deep hurted poor heart

which was yelling inside and silent outside.
