i sit here waiting
for some sign
like i expect it to come
it never does

i'm still waiting
i have been for years
to come across it
maybe someday

optimism is my downfall
i cannot look towards a future
i do not have
i cannot hold on to a past
i do not have

but i'll sit here forever
waiting
for a sign
i'm not sure what for
but i'll know it...
when i see it
