Because he still waits for you, there
Right over there, right beside you
He still waits for you, if you ever need him
Like the whispers you were
ever meant to hear, he tried
to bring it close to you
You surely haven’t forgotten when he
braided your hair for that first date and
comforted you when they never showed up
Or how about those paper airplanes that
he’d always carry for you, just to make sure
that you’d never feel like it wasn’t enough
All those times the sun was out in fury
and he came rushing in tides of breeze
just to make sure you wouldn’t fall ill
The one who slips around your shoulders
and sings
and sings
