Something is about to change around here

I can feel the difference in the way the air moves.

It's not that she's become used to this,

but more that it has her numb...

to everything else



I knew she had been crying on the phone,

but I wasn't going to bring it up.

She talked and I listened, wishing that I

could have been somebody else.



She waits for tomorrow.

I'll sleep next to the phone.

So much stronger than I could be,

but I'll still sleep next to the phone.



There is something missing in her voice.

She'll pause to swallow the words she just let out.

I tell her the things I wish I could change,

and she silently agrees with me.



She waits for tomorrow.

I'll sleep next to the phone.

So much stronger than I could be,

but I'll still sleep next to the phone.



I wish that I could be so much more for her right now.
