The Echo or the Answer

Waiting

How many love songs have you hummed

About no one at all

None

Have ever held that place in my chest

Where is the shattering

earth

Where is the head rush?

No butterflies have taken

flight

No heart of mine has soared

The world still

spins

Just the same as always

It's never frozen in place

Empty

Is the seat next to me

I sing both parts of every duet

Waiting

For the dizzy buzz

My gaze floats and wanders

Looking for the partner

Exhaling

The secret envy

The word lonely never leaves my

lips

Only my eyes say the want

Only they ask the question

Where

Where is this love of mine?

Does he wait too?

Search

The same as I?

Or has he found another in my stead

Butterflies

Have filled his stomach

Drunk on another wine

Distance

Makes the heart grow older

I'll drink my coffee gone

Cold

I'll hold the hope a little longer
