I'll Wait Here

Gloucester Green Bus Station

2 o clock saturday afternoon

Sun is out burning scalps

I’m trying hard not to swoon

I met you a week ago

And now I am in love

You’re coming in from the country

My anticipation shows my age

I’m way too young to be mature

I’m a baby bird in a cage

Who doesn’t know how to fly

But I am in love

A sea of faces still no sign

I check my watch again

There’s a drunk couple arguing

I hope we don’t turn into them

It’s twenty past two

The bus is 5 minutes late

I’m still in love

I’m standing behind a post box

I see her bus rumbling in

My heart is pumping

My nerves shredded thin

I count the passengers

You’re not one of them

I’m no longer in love
