Waiting (Terrified of the Dark)

I always search for your
silhouette. In the darkness,
sitting in my truck and I'm
waiting and I see a shadow
move (another one) and I hope
it's you. Please be you.

When it's so dark out it's hard
to tell what's a tree, what's you,
and what's my imagination of the
evil in the shadows.

Because when I see something move,
my heart pounds. It could be you.
It could be a serial killer or the
boogeyman or the devil himself but
so far it's only been the love of my
life, approaching my car. Still my
damn imagination gets the best of me
as I wait for you.

It's as if every shadow that moves is
coming for me. I try and wait and
even close my eyes but then I hear
the sounds of a passing car or a
barking dog and I fucking jump.

I want you to come as quickly as possible.
I wanna see you. I wanna be with you
because the second I see a shadow I know
to be you my heart settles and the
darkness seems to disappear entirely and
I'm okay and everything's okay.

But until that moment I'm terrified.
Until that moment
I think about leaving.
I think about going home and
seeing you another day but I never
do. Because I love you. I
want to see you so fucking badly
and I'm sorry to be so scared of the
dark. But I will get through it and
I will wait for you.
Please hurry.
