When you said you needed time,
I thought you asked me-
To hide for a while.
When time felt so sophisticated
I felt I needed to be back
You told me you needed more
And so I had to keep waiting
Soon you were with someone else
And there I kept waiting.
The perfection you found -
Seemed enough
And so I had to deal with it
I could not forget you so soon
Because you meant the world to me
And yet now I live with the hurt
That my feelings for you caused me.
I have to go so far
To a place I can only forget you
And my heart will rest in peace.
I have not moved on
But I hope some day I will
Because the strength in my affection
Keeps me hostage In you...
I Kept Waiting
