Until You Come Back

Everyday I wait staring out the window,
Until you come back.
I wait and wait 'til I fall asleep.
There's no knowing how long I'll wait until you come back
I'll do stuff to keep the memory of you alive
Until you come back.
I'll throw a ball and catch it with my glove,
I'll build a volcano and make it explode, and
I'll wait for the day you come back.
There's really no telling how much I miss you,
how much I want to laugh,
but you're the only one who can make me.
The days go by, not a single word,
The weeks go by, not a single e-mail,
The months go by, not a single letter.
I'll watch basketball games, just like you did.
I'll play softball again, just like you taught me how,
Until you come back.
I'm beginning to think that you'll never come back,
ever again.
I'll keep waiting,
So please come back.
You'll never know how much I miss you,
So please come back.
I'll put a fake smile on and pretend I'm happy,
But until you come back,
Nothing. Feels. Real.
