Waiting

Submitted by Tammy Estrellita on March 11, 2008 - 12:49.

I have to wait all day.
Seconds feel like hours.
Hours feel like thousand miles away.
Why should I keep on waiting,
for something that might never arrive?

I have to wait another day.
Now seconds feel like miles away.
I want to know what I'm waiting for.
I want to know the reason of my despair.
May be that day will come,
but it is still million light years away.

I don't know what I'm waiting for
but I will keep on waiting.
I won't fall down in this endless linger.
Those never-ending
seconds, minutes and hours
will surrender, and that,
what I'm waiting for will come,
with a with flag trembling around.
