Eleven Years Road By

One day eleven years from now
I saw you sitting at the table in the shop
A Dunkin' Donut sat next to you as you gazed at the empty chair
Smiling at the sight of me that wasn't really there
Though I was behind you, close enough to touch your hair
I'm sorry for leaving you, we both know life is so unfair

Did you buy the Apple Crumb for me
Hoping somehow I would lift it in the air?
Even if you could see me here you could do no more than stair
For ghosts are merely specters that live in the nowhere
Perhaps I might be there with you if I had taken better care
But how could I know I would finally find love in one so pure and fair?

For now I look in each bus window
That rides past your empty seat
Watching to see your face searching for my smile
Eleven years road by in just a little while
I knew you would return one day to release your hearts denial
To be set free of your guilty plea in a never ending trial
