'I don't want you waiting for me, that just breeds resentment and anger.'
I understand, I do
Where you were coming from when you broke up with me
I understand the fear that I might be waiting for you out of obligation, or cowardice
But now we're broken up, have been for over a month
I've said and done some stupid things since then
But only because I didn't want to accept
What I really think now
Is the truth
That I still want to wait for you
We aren't together, there's no obligation for me to wait for you any more
You've given me a ticket out, a door to escape through
After all the pain and suffering
And I've been standing on the threshold
And perhaps glimpses of what lies beyond the door have been tempting
But I'm closing the door now
Still on the same side as you
Because I'm choosing to wait
No strings attached
This is the choice I'm making
Perhaps it isn't the right one
But I don't think it's the wrong one
So I will sit here, and I will wait
And maybe one day, you'll want to try again as well
And we can build something new together
On the glittering ashes of what we had
