I stand here today,

On the edge of this ledge,

Looking for a reason,

Not to take this next step.


Longing to see her,

In anticipation,

I hope to wait,

Looking for a reason,

Not to take this next step.


Waiting for a call,

Or even a single text,

Looking for a reason,

Not to take this next step.


The sound of her voice,

Or the smile on her face,

Looking for a reason,

Not to take this next step.
