i waited..

Waiting in the once upon a time , pushing my head beneath the present-continuous ,

Seeking out the long gone by's , circling around the same dear-drop memory ,

justifying my sweet backward flight , i watch as the one-me smiles at the other ,

while running with the leash of the past , espousing the standing ovation not received ,

hearing the wind crying by, like the time flying past ,
one-me shrugged at the other , and..


i waited in the once upon a time , for a long , long time.
i waited in the once upon a time , for the better past.

i waited in the once upon a time , for a long , long time.
i waited in the once upon a time , for the better past.
