I remember when you told me to wait,
When you whispered not to leave without a hug,
How you curled your arm around my waist,
And kissed the sweet spot on my neck.
I remember the way you sounded in the early morning
And the way you rolled over and trapped me beneath,
Begging for five more minutes but keeping me for six.
I remember worrying about you on that winter night,
Scared to death that you'd slipped off the road.
You hadn't been answering your phone,
And I started to pace the tiled floor of your kitchen.
I remember when you told me to wait,
And I've been waiting ever since.

I remember when you told me to wait,
When you whispered not to leave without a hug,
How you curled your arm around my waist,
And kissed the sweet spot on my neck.
I remember the way you sounded in the early morning
And the way you rolled over and trapped me beneath,
Begging for five more minutes but keeping me for six.
I remember worrying about you on that winter night,
Scared to death that you'd slipped off the road.
You hadn't been answering your phone,
And I started to pace the tiled floor of your kitchen.
I remember when you told me to wait,
And I've been waiting ever since.
