too late in coming..

i waited here

with an open heart

to gather in the joyous sounds

of a familiar melody

faint remnants of ivory notes

steel strings strumming

and trumpets wailing with soul

until dusk settled heavily upon my arms

and my eyes couldn't catch even a slight glimmer

squinting to find a silouhette

of that person i once loved

i waited here

with an open heart

i waited here

for you
