A Year of Waiting
Guy: Tell me, how have you been?
Are you okay?
I've stood here waiting for too long.
It's been a year of downs, but I always looked at the stars because they reminded me of you.
How can I go out knowing you're still breathing real air?
Woman: It's been a while dear, I'd say a day. Twenty-four hours without saying your name.
I won't admit, how much I hated leaving you alone or that I expected to hear news of a burnt house.
I got your letter...no way it's been a year!
I can't even...see...California?
Guy: It's been over a year now.
375 days to be exact.
I can't seem to keep it intact!
My emotions for you were everything, but now I don't think I can rely on...me.
So just go wherever the wind sets down the bee.
Please, just erase my number from your contacts.
Woman: How long have you been out?
I bet you drank so much, you forgot this is 1983, but you can keep my heart and I'll take away your pain.
There's no more time- no time to wait.
I finally found something to rely on
