I sit here waiting, and I start to wonder
if you're ever going to come.
I've been waiting for so long.
But what's another day?
I can still remember when our lips touched.
You kissed me so passionately,
I thought you'd never let me go.
Now I wish you hadn't.
It was so long ago, but the thought
Still lingers. I can still see you
In my mind, enticing me, teasing me.
Staring into my eyes, taking my breath away.
I want to reach across the distance between us,
and run into your arms again.
To be held safely in your embrace
While my cares melt away would be bliss.
But you don't see me; you're too busy
Being wrapped around another's little finger.
You claim you love her; do you forget
That you also claimed to love me too?
I don't know what to think now.
Do you love me, or don't you?
I'm beginning to falter, as doubt
Seeps through my mind, blinding me.
Am I just living out a dream? Do I want you,
So desperately, that I can't see what's in front
Of me? That I can't see how much she means
To you? How much does she mean to you?
I love you; that I know for sure. But do you
Still feel the same for me? I am so afraid to
Ask; I'd be hurt if you loved her more
Than me. If you'd rather be with her than me.
And so I won't ask. I don't think I would
Like the answer. I'd rather ignorantly believe
You still love me, so don't tell me otherwise.
I don't know if I could take it.
But I can't help but notice; who are you with?
Her. Not me. It's been a whole year, and your love
For her only grows every day. And I'm left here,
Sitting here, silently wishing, silently hoping.
Hoping one day you'll come to me.
