i will always save you a seat
even when the movie starts
or when the first act of the play opens
or when the teacher begins the quiz
i will always save a seat for you beside me
so when you come hurrying
you do not have to tire yourself
i would look for an empty one
even in the middle of the crowd
i would sweat to declare a seat as my territory
no one could ever invade
like a king claiming a land
for his beloved
and when everything seems unavailable
i would make one for you
i would hurry crafting you a chair
that would be as comfortable as the others
i will always save you a seat
even when i know you'll be very late
i will always save you a seat
even when i know you won't arrive
i will always save you a seat
even when i know you'll sit beside someone else
i will always save you a seat
even when i know you won't even come to me anymore
know that it will forever remain empty
it will forever be for you.
