Waiting

I’d like to ask you to
Hold my face in your hands
Say you understand
I know you can’t sleep but it’s
Good to close your eyes and be still
The body needs rest

Cut my hair short for years
And I’m waiting, waiting
For change that’s only clear
When I’m waiting way too long
When is the perfect day
That doesn’t start with you?

I want you beside me
But you were not beside me
Your arms, did I feel them in a dream?
Unrest and consequence
I’m pulling out all requests
This body is a test

Moving every two years
I am waiting, waiting
For change that’s only clear
When I’m waiting way too long
When is the perfect day
That doesn’t start with you?
