Still -

I hoped you’d come back for me, so I sat down and waited.

The air was blowing

cold and people stared as they walked past

But I sat so still and just waited there for you

With a focused look you headed towards the corner and I ran like a child after

you

And I can’t remember words that I was saying while you put the night in picture

frames

You were taking photographs while I hovered by your side

So you can catch this night on film and I can keep it in my mind

You were taking photographs of lights and city life, while I just took it all

in by your side

And the train ride home that night was spent in silence while you held my hand

like we first met

And it hit me then, that we were both still children—afraid of letting go the

hand we’ve held

So I held you close just like your photographs have held on to that night

And why be adults when it takes a child to forgive throughout this life?

And what matters most is that we’re able to believe when all seems lost

So why be adults?

I hoped you’d come back for me, so I sat down and waited

The air was blowing cold and people stared as they walked past

But I sat so still and just waited there for you
