Waiting for you

The clock on the wall ticks slow and deep, a rhythm out of time,

Each second stretches in its sleep, like a forgotten rhyme.

The coffee's gone cold in the cup I hold, the pages of my book,

Remain unturned, a story untold, with just your absent look.

The sun paints stripes across the floor, then slowly starts to fade,

And every creak within the door, makes my hopeful heart cascade.

(Chorus)

Waiting for her, a silent plea, a whisper on the breeze,

A fragile hope that sets me free, and brings me to my knees.

Each passing car, a fleeting glance, a silhouette in sight,

A hopeful, foolish, longing dance, throughout the lonely night.

(Verse 2)

I replay moments in my head, the laughter and the touch,

The promises that you had said, meaning oh so much.

I picture your smile, the way you move, the sound of your sweet name,

And every memory I approve, fuels this persistent flame.

The city hums a distant tune, oblivious to my wait,

Beneath the silent, watchful moon, sealed by a hopeful fate.
