Here i am

waiting

just getting over

an old English proverb

translated back to French

and i wait

here you go

holding your heart in your hand

standing out in crowds

as the world crowds around you

you wink and waive

and i know i could never pull you down

i need something

i need to start

and standing here, watching you

is no way to begin

screaming

as the restless nights fill up my future

i need to change direction

i need to stop looking

here i am grabbing my chest

holding lungs and breathing hard

as your lemon yellow

kiss passes me by

and i wait.
