What is it
to be waiting?

What is it
to be waiting
for you?

Is it
wanting?

Is it
loving?

Is it
moving through me like a fire?

Desire?

Is it
loneliness in empty rooms?

Stillness…

Old-fashioned lovers kiss.
Did they ever miss
each other?

When will you come home to me?
When will I bloom again?

Darling boy,
I breathe the same salt air,
the same sun on my hair.

When they see the boats
from the headland
they’ll strike up the band!

Darling boy,
will you ever again
hold my hand while we’re sleeping?

What is it
to be waiting?

What is it
to be waiting
for you?

Is it
loving?

Is it
loneliness in empty rooms?
