Wait

It will be simple they say
no more then 2 hours they claim
but 2 turned into 4
and 4 into 6, 6 became 8
we knew, they were too late.
They said it would take
20 hours to make,
the distance I needed to go
across 7 states.
It took me 15.
I hoped and I prayed,
that you would still be there,
that you would still wake.
I got 3 speeding tickets in 2 different states,
but that didn't matter
I could not be late.
you never woke up
I couldn't see your eyes,
the ones that they claimed
matched exactly to mine.
what I wouldn't have given,
to see that faded blue
just one more time
Please... don't let it be true.
I got there just in time
to say my goodbye.
They flipped off a switch
your heart started to skip
prayed it was a glitch.
the lines went flat
the alarms did wake
They started to weep
moan and tear.
They all seemed so fake
I wanted to join you

Oh please won't you wait?
