I only needed you to believe in me
Let me know or let me down easily
I’m still a child at times I know
You’re still cold or extremely closed
You worked damn hard
Played tough too
Your free time was kept
Only for you
I just waited
At the window in my room
Daydreaming catastrophizing
Thinking things through
Tiredness falls like a warm blanket
We embrace and all this good
For a few minutes
Now I’m in your arms
Love it calls like the mail boat ferry
Coming into harbour
It leaves again
Soon soon soon
Until it sails one last time
Out of the harbour and takes my father
