Slowed

My world seems to have slowed, to a baby's crawl
Like I'm in a sort of transition stage, waiting
I can't go forward, and I can't go back
I'm just here, and I'm just me...
I can almost see you shake your head, at me
At how I've been acting lately...such a silly little girl
Willing to leap, without looking
To trust without reason
But, somehow, my confidence has failed me, now
I feel a little insecure...
I just want to hear your voice, one more time
I just need to know if you're okay, if you're happy
I'll settle for a phone call, but I'd love a cup of coffee
Will you just leave me a message, already?
'Dial and hang up' is so...frustrating
Write me a letter, whatever, I don't care
Just let me know that you're out there
That you're still living, breathing, doing, daring
'Cause, you know, it's been a while
Since you and I have even said 'hello, how are you?'
Let alone, sat down and talked
I wonder...wonder about you
I hope,hope,hope that you're doing okay...
