I waited for you in the cold gray rain

Counting the cracks on the sidewalk again

My shadow stretched long as the day grew thin

The city whispered but I heard nothing within

I traced your name on the fogged-up glass

Time slowed down but the minutes still passed

I waited for you for many years

Through silent nights and unshed tears

I held my breath

I chased your ghost

I loved you the longest

I lost you the most

The streetlights hummed their electric tune

The stars stayed hidden

No sign of the moon

Each car that passed was a hope that died

The world kept turning but my heart stayed tied

The clock hands laughed

They never stopped

Every second stole the dreams I’d dropped

I waited for you for many years

Through silent nights and unshed tears

I held my breath

I chased your ghost

I loved you the longest

I lost you the most
