~9~

Maybe I'll sleep inside my coat and

Wait on your porch 'til you come back home

Oh, rightI can't find a flight

So I'll check the weather wherever you are

Cause I wanna know if you can see the stars tonight

It might be my only right 

This is ridiculous he thinks. It’s twenty degrees outside.  Her lights are all out.  Maybe she forgot?  No she wouldn’t, would she?  This is stupid, he could wait in his car but somehow the cold seems to take away his nerves; or better yet he just can’t feel anything anymore.  There is no noise, no light, no one for any matter around, this is the definition of loneliness he decides. 

I called

BecauseI just

Need to feel you on the line

Don't hang up this time

And I know it was me who called it over but

I still wish you'd fought me 'til your dying day

Don't let me get away 

She froze.  Literally.  She was on her way back from the store.  Key in ignition and foot on the pedal.  But her hand could not bring herself to put the car in drive.  Now she’s crying, more like sobbing, in her car.  No one is in the parking lot, the light outside flickers from the cold.  She is alone and late.  Oh he must be waiting she thinks.  Still she can’t move, she is frozen in fear, in loneliness, in time, and in love.
