Anticipation

This waiting game is so unfair,
You're running here and running there,
So much time I have to spend
dreaming until the day's end
of having you back here again,
but you are miles away.

On April 17th, my love,
you'll be in New York City -
what a pity!
For there is no way I could be
with you that day in NYC,
I'm scared of flying and don't have enough money
or time to take me there.
I don't care.
I'll watch and wait for photos of you
and wait until the glorious day
when you are back on home ground,
when I can feel nearer to you.

May 3rd will be that fateful day,
May 4th we'll be even closer
as I make my way into the dark cinema
and smile at the sight of your poster.
The movie will start and I'll feel so proud,
watching you prove people wrong,
That night, I'll come away happy, content
that I could see you again,
Even though really in my heart I know
we were never really together.
The thing is, you see,
knowing that won't stop me
from loving you forever.
