I'll See You In The Mourning

These seconds drag on as we wait in the middle
Stuck in between the ground and the sky
With your every strained breath I hold hope for a whisper
Even though we know you're running out of time
I can't stay by your side
How do I let go
When I've got to go home

So I sit here and wait for the call
That you've faded fast asleep
You don't have to wait for me
To close your eyes

Stare at the ceiling as I try to solve this riddle
The echos of memories are haunting these walls
They insist to surprise me when I'm least expecting
I feel me slip away into a state of dreams
For a moment I fall
And I hear you say

It's okay
To wait for the call
That you've faded fast asleep
You don't have to wait for me
