I waited for you
By the bridge
We used to sneak under
To play with firecrackers
And tell ghost stories
Under the pale light
Of the full moon.

I waited until
June bugs and crickets
Filled the summer breeze
With their chirping buzz buzz buzz.

I waited until
Glow bugs twinkled
In a floating mirror image
To the starlight above.

I waited until
The scarlet hues of dawn
Began to saturate the sky,
And the glowing ball of light
Greeted gently the world below.

And when the sun was fully up,
So was my time to wait.
And though my footsteps dragged
As I meandered
Back through the quiet streets
We grew up racing our skateboards down,
I couldn't help but think

When I look to the sky
Something tells me you're here with me
*And you make everything alright.
