She said she would never forget
I was foolish enough to believe
Tricked into believing that anyone would love me without regret
And that my actions would plant a life changing seed

So I sit alone on this porch swing in the summer heat
A glass of lemonade by my side
I ponder the polyatomic rhythm of my lonely heart beat
And the clinking ice melting away to die

The air strikes down unbearably hot
Yet I find myself apathetic
While thinking of her I thirst not
For anything but her lovely soul and a way to get it

I wait and wait, despite the clear signs
That she has forgotten about me this sunny season
I wait and wait, for that time
When I can see her again for whatever reason

Gaze upon her blinding beauty which drove me crazy
Crazy enough to trap myself in a season of daydream
Greet her once again and perhaps maybe
I will cross her mind for just a moment; it is all I need

I wait and wait
Waiting...
