waiting 2

don't worry
I didn't
forget
I find the
reminders
everywhere
in everyone
I'm just
a simple
past time
a sport
old enough
to know better
and I'm still
waiting

looks like
I'm waiting
for naught.

Waiting

Yes I can see
plainly
the road slips by
as we ride
in the open air
the look in your
eyes
the world
flying by
in so many
vibrant lovely colors

I recognize
the things you
offered
and the things
you cannot
yet give
I recall
your voice saying you
would show me
instead of telling
and I can see
so plainly

Even still,
darling maybe
you don't
understand
when I sat beside you
I put my arms
around your waist
and trusted
with my life

I got on this ride
willingly
but you
sir
are driving
and I am
simply letting you
decide

you always say
you are waiting on
me
but really my dear
I am
waiting I
am waiting I am
waiting
on you...

stories

don't get me
wrong
i feel
you could tell
any one of
those stories
at any time
i expect them
all
i expect
nothing
but you told me
hang on
to hope
i already
know that one

held 2

I
relaxed
my grip,
not because I felt
I could
keep you there
but rather
so you'd understand
I would never
hold
you down
never hold
you back from
anything
I just
want to hold you

Because when I lay
there
beside you,
I feel
so very
held.

light

I've known
for quite a few years
the consequences
of keeping something
that isn't meant
to be yours

take the firefly
in the jar
by morning
the light is gone

you are beautiful
and came to me
suddenly and unexpectedly
like a gift
like a firefly

how dare I
take your light?
