waiting is never a fun thing to do...

"stutter out a smile", i like.

I especially adore the first stanza the most, and that last part was purely wonderful.

lovely diction and vivid description, powerful as always.

"you stutter out a smile" i really like that phrase. the rhyming hidden in between-especially in the first stanza, a favorite, might i add-is nice. i don't know why, but this is beautiful. it has a lovely feeling to it.
