Waiting to Hear From You
I haven't heard from you in days
The hours keep passing by
It takes all the strength within my soul
To not allow myself to cry
The nights are cold and empty
Without you to hold me near
I close my eyes and say a prayer
that soon you will be here
I wish so much that you weren't gone
But there is nothing that I can do
I fell for a man without fear in his body
I knew that the moment I met you
I can't tell you that it is easy
Without you beside me every day
You ask me to tell you that I'm all right
But you know those words I cannot say
I won't let you know how much it hurts
To think of you over there
To know that you are in the hands of danger
And that those people don't even care
I must find inspiration in knowing
That your friends are always at your side
That they will have your back through this
While I sit back and hide
I wish that there was more I could do
As I sit here all alone
But I know that in your heart you smile
Knowing I'm still here at home
I'll keep checking the ringer on my phone
To make sure you can get through
And I'll sit back and keep praying
That soon I'll hear from you.
