waiting, waiting, waiting...

something needs to change

and that something is you

The world around spins faster

The moon is getting darker

Time ticks away

and I'm still waiting, waiting, waiting...

The air gets colder

My mum gets scrawlier

The time flees

but I'm still waiting, waiting, waiting...

 The animals get angrier

The sand gets sandier

The time is stiffer

but I'm still waiting, waiting, waiting...

I remember the day it all began

The ferocious battles then, tears

You promised it would never be us

so I'm still waiting, waiting, waiting...

The days get bolder

The tears get slower

The time has stopped now

but I'm still waiting, waiting, waiting...

I stop waiting, for it is over

The tears I shed, stop

I look down at the time but,

all I see is a broken promise
