in the lobby

lying in bed with thoughts i shouldn’t
it’s like life’s a game and i gave you my last
now when i talk of you, i cry
i shouldn’t, i promised i wouldn’t

these chapters of love
you’ll never understand what you did to me
i move, but never with grace
long for days you were here

the way i looked in your eyes
friday night, how you kissed my cheek
apologized a thousand times
but you still don’t understand

i stand still, remember an occasional we’ll
how you made your coffee
like a zombie, i say your name softly
looking for words other than you

the dark blue, the stars glimmer
your eyes all night long
back to everything
our story, but this time
i’ll wait in the lobby
