I Wait

I'm not her

 

I'm not family

 

I'm not the many people who need you.

 

I'm not them,

 

I'm not a fan

 

I'm not the more important's than me's.

 

I wait
The phone

and I wait
The connection

I wait
The phone to you
I wait.

 

You are good with the phone,

my love,

You phone me
often,

My dear,

a lot,
When I can't speak.
When you know

On the phone
It's my voice

you'll get.
Not me.
You know

I'll ask
You know

I'll say

When
When can I touch you,
When can we meet

When can our faces,

your hands

Meet mine?

 

With water rimming the eyes
there is talk

Of the things confronting 
I see them
I see them
So clearly
That I let you go
I let you go

 

I don't like to wait
I won't wait
I don't need to wait
Anymore

 

I wasn't her

 

I wasn't them

 

I am me

 

That doesn't need you 

 

Anymore.
