What I'm Trying To Say Is

I'll Wait

I wanted to say 'Hi'

But all that came out was 'Excuse me'

I wanted to say 'How's your day'

But all that came out was 'What did the teacher say'

I wanted to say 'I like your jacket'

But all that came out was 'Did you do it correct'

I wanted to say so much

But now you're gone away

Because I need to pay

Pay for not loving you enough to say

Don't leave

But no

You're gone now, and with the gods

One day you will come back and when that happens

I will protect you from yourself

And love you forever

So I'll wait
