I wait to hear his voice
it carries a special lilt
how could I ever have heard guilt

I wait to see his smile
how can I live without that
Oh, my days will be so flat

I wait to touch his hand
the very thing to bring me peace
how can I survive if that were to cease

I wait to smell his scent
like a mellow brew of green tea
with a breeze wafting off the sea

Now I will have to wait forever
since I pushed him so far away
with my doubt and insecurity

Why did I say that to him
why was I so sure he did wrong
why couldn't I believe our love was strong

He will never again believe
that I trust his faith in us
I've lost my life's sweetness
