I sit alone
Hoping for my friends to come
Sitting for hours
Waiting for company
Listening to birds
To people walking by
Ignoring my loneliness
Talking to their friends
Having company
While here I stay
Alone
Hoping for someone
Anyone who would say hi
To have a conversation with me
For now I shall sit
And I shall wait
Just wait in my solitude

Thought of this while having to wait for about an hour and a half for the bus, then realized that there was something I could actually do (watch the third Harry Potter movie); I finally finished it while on the bus.
