Wait

Just wait a minute
before you go
can I tell you something
you already know?

Hold on a second
before you aren’t here
can I say something
that you will not hear?

Just wait a minute
before dark hits the skies
can I be something you see
when you can’t open your eyes?

Hold on a second
can we just slow down?
I am not ready
for this part of town

Just wait a minute
how do I prepare
for the permanent absence
of the only one who was always there?

Hold on a second
what do I do with all this love?
And how do I hold on to
what will never be enough?

Just wait a minute
can you tell me somehow
all the things you would say
if you could say goodbye right now?

Hold on a second
‘cause I don’t know what to do
or how to end our only phone call
that can’t end in “Love you too”.
