I want to cry all the time
Because I am watching
You slowly slip away
Into the night
Wherever it is
People seem to wander
Leaving only memories
And a hopelessly shy girl
Who sits and sits
Waiting for her love
To return
From day to night
To morning
She waits
And does not give up
She cannot
Or she will
Surely slip away
Too
