Waiting

10/20/07

SilverGuardian of Ancients

Here I am

Sitting under the tree

Where you left for the war

Saying that we'd start our family when you returned

Telling me not to worry and that you'd write everyday

So this is where I stayed

Waiting for your return

Here I am

Sitting under the bare tree

I haven't heard from you in two weeks

And even though you told me not to

I'm starting to worry

But I still stayed

Waiting for your return

Here I am

Sitting under the snow covered tree

I was just informed that you were killed in action

It felt like forever before I could stop crying

But I denied everything they told me

Hoping that you were still alive

So this is where I stayed

Waiting for your return

Here I am

Sitting under the blooming tree

I went to your grave today

Shed so many tears that I could cry no more

I'm starting to believe that you truly are gone

I'm starting to lose faith that you're still out there

So even though I'm starting to doubt

I stayed under the tree

Waiting for your return

Here I am

Sitting under the full tree

It's been a year now

And I had a dream about you

You came to say good-bye

I'm sad but relieved

I'm sad because I'll never see you again

But I'm relieved because you found your way back

You found your way back home

And so I no longer stayed under the tree

Waiting for your return
