The waiting time
There's a waiting time of each day for me
Not like I've know before
It's a time of day when I lay and wait
For my heart to find love once more
Its a time of day when I make believe
That you are still here with me
You made my world lovely and bright
It was the way I dreamed it would be
I want to feel the touch of your hand once more
For in that moment I find
A remembered warmth that we once shared
A closeness of spirits and minds
I see your smile and I hear your voice
Its as plain as if you are here
It makes all of the sorrow and grief I have
Somehow suddenly disappear
So please, please let me go on pretending
For that is the only way I can bare
For without you the silence surrounds me
And turns my waiting time to tears.

Divorce stage two, when that person you loved has left but someplace in your heart you think they will soon come home, come back to you. You hope that this is all a dream so you pretend they are still there.
