They'll wonder where I am one day

When my chair at work remains empty

When it should not have been

And the work is not done for them.

|

They'll wonder where I am one day

When rent has gone unpaid

And my laundry is still piled

I'd have been gone for a while

|

They'll wonder where I am one day

When my footsteps don't crunch into

The forest floor

And the trees don't sing anymore

|

They'll wonder where I am one day

When the payments stop coming in

To keep the bills up to date

But, they'll think I'm just lazy and late.

|

They'll wonder where I am one day

When my messages remain unread

And his tears go unanswered for hours

The thought puts a sour

Taste in my mouth.

|

I'll wonder if you care one day

That I have run out of cowardice

Unable to face my own melting life around me

But the ache in my chest will always call for you

Always for you.

|

They'll wonder where I am one day

But none of them matter

Except you.
