I've waited.
I've waited like I always used to do.
I've waited, and I've hoped,
and I've prayed.

I've waited until my time was wasted.
And that was when I took a step back --
One step and realized I've moved on. Or rather, I'm moving on.
And it was the biggest step I took--
There was a great gap between where I am now, and where I used to be.

I know I'll look back
And ask myself if I took the right path--
The path away from you;
But that single step,
I did not do that to free you
But to free myself.
