I wait for the day to feel
as if the world is standing still.

To seem as if there is no one around
and nothing to bother me

I wait for the day to feel
as if the world is standing still

so I can live my life
without turning back

I live to see the day,
that nobody dies

...and I live to see the day
that everybody loves and nobody lies.

but I only dream about the day that we get to see the ones we miss...

just one last time.

I wrote this poem when I was thinking about my mom and wishing I could see her again.
