My waiting seemed like an eternity
While you just took your time
No matter how many times I paused
You fell further behind.
It must have been more interesting
More important to say at least
The things that capture your attention
And made you slow your feet.
How many times did I come back
And try to take your hand
To move you past the obstacles
And get to where I am
But you always chose the detours
Content to let me run
A journey made for two
A destination for only one.
Objects in the rear view mirror
Became so small I couldn’t see
There was only my reflection
Staring back at me.
I threw the map out the window
Pushed the pedal to the floor
Set myself on cruise control
I’m looking back no more.
