Now,
Tonight
I need to be with you,
But somehow you always keep me
Waiting.
And funny thing, somehow – I always wait.
Sitting in the window, forcing my eyes to
stay open, I have counted all the Christmas
Lights on the block until they
Stopped blinking (until tomorrow)
And I have sung my heart out
And my soul has danced all day,
Anticipating your return
With each hour\’s passing my spirits get lower
You never took the time
To drop in for a casual kiss
Or anything.
I need to love you like
You keep me waiting – ALWAYS!
You don’t understand what your
Consistent, inconsistency does to my mind.
Yes, I’m insane – perhaps
Because I love you and I wait endlessly
For you to drop in on your way to
Forever to spend a moment or so with me.
To be truthful, I can’t even feel
Hurt anymore although I’ve tried.
Just disappointment…….
I hoped maybe this time would be different,
I thought maybe this time
You would come, but you didn’t
I love you anyway and tomorrow night
As I take my customary seat in the window
Maybe while I’m counting the
Christmas lights, you’ll drop in for a
Casual kiss
Or
Something!
