the seconds drag themselves out
it was three months
then five minutes
two days now;
i'm always waiting
if i asked
would you wait with me?

(don't look at me with those eyes
i'm afraid i'll never be able to stop smiling)

you bloomed like a flower
but i'm always one step behind
and the words tumble down again
this time, i may fall with my words
the words i could never say to you
if i ask,
will you wait for me?
