I wait

I see your face, shining through my memories

And I can hear your voice in every single story

And God knows your name by heart, from every single prayer

You may be gone, but I always will care

Your name is permanently tattooed in my heart

Put it there so we will never be apart

Put it at the tip, so I don't ever have to dig

Have my arms spread, I love you this big

Wrapped around the world so many times they can never miss it

Just sitting here wishing you didn't have to exit

Exit my life, to never come back

I'm a train wreck, fell so far off the track

As the train's steam reaches for the heavens

Carrying every cried prayer with them

Every shout and every tear

All wishing that you were still here

But, like they say, every good thing ends

And my heart one day might mend

But until then, I wait

Tick-tock, tick-tock; I wait
