Today I have seen something that I longed to see again
Everyday, I walk by, hoping we have not forgotten
That promise made years ago
Time stopped, and crawled so slow
Shook on it, wished each other luck
But behind it all, I could see her turned back
She walked away, and I hoped she would remember
Our words to each other when the sun was in slumber
The time came for us to meet once more
And I waited, underneath the tree that upon, we swore
And I waited
Waited, still
Hoping she would show up, is all just a dream
But then, who would have recalled
A promise made so far bellowed
And so I waited
And waited
Waited, still
Would she remember?
I dare ask that would she still come back whenever?
And so I waited
And waited
Waited still
Time stretched, time passed
I have been here, and visiting it last
Days, weeks, months, years
I pass by and wait until laughter turned to tears
But by then, she had forgotten
And what would I do if no one came again?
Under the purple tree, I stood each day
From its shade I looked ahead and say
A beloved prayer, a beloved sigh
Hoping the time she would come would be nigh
And hope more I did
Try to count the seconds before it slid
Under the purple tree I hoped she was with me
Staring past the swaying leaves and the stars in infinity
What a dream that would be
Here I was hoping to make a reality out of fantasy
And then I would look down and find no one was with me
And I will walk far and circle back to the tree
I touch its trunk, caress its leaves and hoped to see
She was out there, somewhere I cannot be
And then I would lie down and sleep under the purple tree
Until then I will wait and build a shelter for me
I will hope that she will come back to her one and only dear
Should she come home, should I wait?
I ask no one, since no one was out late
The breeze was low, and I peered on the horizon
The wind shifted as it changed the season
And so I waited
And waited
Waited, still.
