Lillie - Anticipation

 [ an-tis-uh-pey-shuh ]
the waiting for that moment, that one instance of aha
the anticipation is coming home, not for artificial comfort
                but for that feeling.
not exactly pinpointing what it means, but knowing it’s there.
the je ne sais quoi  c’est mon raison d’être in the background.
                the (treesonst.charles)(potholesoneverystreet)(moldingonthebalconies)(foreverpuddlesbythepark)
                                make the [ an-tis-uh-pey-shuh ] worth it.
