hours pass slowly when you aren't with me
lonely and mostly silent
loud tv to fill the void as I wait for you to return
I miss you and I know you need sleep
but -god- do I need you
especially in times like these
things aren't the worst
but they aren't the best
don't take it wrong
I'm in a good place
I just need you with me to help it feel all right
things feel off and time slows when you're gone
I await your return but the longer it takes the more tired I get
the more lonely it feels
oh what I would give to just have you here
you wouldn't know
I would sell my soul for even a day
a day of adventures
and snuggles and kisses
all cute things couples do
though we both know that would be for the worst
because with you time flies and sure we've got a ton
but not when it's just a day
I would sell my soul
I would sell a million not even my own
to freeze time
to stay with you
to keep you with me
I would do it all
I need you and we both know it
though sometimes it's not the clearest
I wait up for you
I grow tired
but never tired of being with you
at some point this is ridiculously rambly
but do I ever stop?
no.
because I love you and I need you
I cannot imagine a life without you
you make waiting worth it all
no matter how tired I get
no matter how hard things get
no matter how long the years feel
I will always be here
awaiting the return of my love
and the impending doom of my slumber
