Wait

I remember the long nights and conversations down to the letter,

When I knew when you lied and I told you to forget the lies.

I replaced your best friend and that made her feel better,

Because with me, you didn’t need a disguise.

Then the sand has passed through the hourglass,

And now we stand alone like two strangers,

I apologize for the pain, just as

I apologize for the constant dangers.

I could not help myself, for an angel is hard to come upon,

Sweet innocence is still the best aroma on this earth…

And when her wings engulf you, there is nowhere to run…

And you are stuck in a constant back and forth.

The lies I mentioned, I hope you do forgive,

But how can you tell the one you need the truth?

When all you can desire is the chance to leave

And cannot ruin another blessed youth.

I tried pulling away, as you can sure remember,

I couldn’t get too far from where you slept and lived,

For all your innocence hooked me like a fever

And you became the air which I surely breathed.

And now, we pull away, you from me and myself from you,

We found both loving arms in which to call retreat…

Please have no fear, there’s no comparison…

For always and forever I will wait for you.
