Waiting

Your voice echoes in my mind

and I hear longing and melancholy behind

the song you sing is reaching out, calling, wanting

and I know you're not over her and that you're still waiting.

So now what am I supposed to do?

I don't even know how I really feel for you.

But I sense sadness in my heart

And I know that in this you have played a part.

Of what reason is this sadness, I do not know

Was it the way you sang that brings this sorrow?

But I also wonder if I'm not just overthinking.

If there was no deeper meaning to the songs you were singing.

And if I am really just thinking too much,

is there a way for me to confirm such?

Because I don't think it would affect me this way

But I hope to know more of your story someday.

And if it's true, if you really are still in pain,

why don't you give me a chance to make that feeling wane?

Because I know I wouldn't make you feel that way,

and I wouldn't leave if only you'd ask me to stay.

Your heart would be safe with me,

why don't you give it a try and see?

Though I won't force you to do something you don't want to do,

But know that while you wait for her, I am here, just waiting too.
