I waited, the sun born in the east,
Watching it die and be reborn again.
Time has passed, but I am still here,
Keeping a promise carved in dying leaves.
But love, I waited —
The storm turned to summer,
Summer to winter,
And winter to autumn.
I waited.
I might have mixed things up, but still—
I waited.
But every wait has its end, and every stay must fade.
I thought I could go on forever —
A fool waiting for someone who might never return.
I thought I am that fool.
But God had other plans.
In the void you left within me,
He gave me another you —
Someone wise, yet still a fool.
A slight bend of you,
A subtle gift from Him.
A perfect one for me,
A perfect answer to all the waiting.
So, to you I once loved —
I never truly stopped waiting.
It's just…
The river ran dry
Faster than the spring could rise.
