WAITING WORDS



My words to you hung in the air unused
If you should turn around they're waiting here
And if one day you need them, or merely to amuse
Just breathe them in , they'll still be fresh and clear.

Whispered far too soft for you to hear
Three little words it took too long to learn
They wait, like me, completely petrified with fear
That you will never bother to return

When you left, the bright and numbing cold
Froze words you didn't think to get from me
Sentiments kept young in ice as you and I grow old
Await a touch from you to set them free

The words we thought that I would never say
Were spoken when you'd gone and far too late
They lie abandoned 'midst the dust and the decay
Where the only thing they have to do is..wait.
