He is a man waiting
holding out for his lady
he claims is his baby
she tries to extinguish
her life from his
she can only reminisce
wishing she could
just close her eyes
and return to the promise
they made to be honest
to live in trust
her pulse races
speeding like a runaway train
never standing still
always in limbo
to catch a seat
next to his heart
he pleads
don't step away
meet me half way
her instincts say runaway
only time can say
if she will stay
