I WAS WAITING

 

I was waiting for you to call

but I said nothing at all

I was waiting for you to come

the bed felt bigger

the bed felt cold

Still I said nothing at all

Molly was barking at every motorbike

Thought it was a sign

Thought you were close and I smiled

But someone else came up the stairs

Maybe I was counting the steps

but that person went to another door

and I was waiting

and kept waiting for you to come

As the time passed by

I was hoping not to cry

checked the time

maybe you could've come anytime

but I was waiting in vain it seemed

and I was waiting myself to redeem

by that time I didn't want to talk

Thought maybe a hug could help

by that time I didn't want to walk

Thoughts were dragging me to hell

I was waiting

and it was getting dark

I couldn't talk

I just wanted to cry

never said a word

and kept asking why

Daylight was fading 

while I was still waiting

maybe a tear or two rolled by

while I hugged the pillow so hard

It wasn't only the day getting dark

Useless thoughts were about to start

I never said a word and kept asking why

Why you didn't want to come?

Why am I so wrong?

Why did we get to this point?

Why I don't want to say a word?

I was waiting 

and I never said a word

I was waiting 

but I didn't know it was all lost
