2nd and Main

2nd and Main

On the corner of 2nd and Main I wait
I wait for you
You said this is where we will meet
You said you would come for me

I sit on the bench
And watch the people go by
My hair blows in the gentle breeze
I pull the sleeves of my hoodie over my hands

I hug myself and remember last night
The long sleeves and long pants hid my secrets
Last night you asked to see
Last night you accepted me

You saw the secrets
You said you still loved me
You promised to take me away
You promised a bright future

So here I sit
On the corner of 2nd and Main

The hours pass
The sun sets
The people pass
The rain begins to fall

So here I sit
On the corner of 2nd and Main

I wait for you
I wait to start our new life together
I remember last night
I remember how I gave myself to you

You promised a new life
But as I sit
I begin to question
I begin to question the things you said

As the rain falls harder
I stand
I begin to walk
I know where I am going

So no I leave
The corner of 2nd and Main

I walk to the outside of town
I walk to the old bridge
Onto the railing I climb
I remember last night

I remember the things you promised
I remember the way you held me
The sweet things you whispered in my ears
I remember where you said to meet

There I sat
On the corner of 2nd and Main

You never came
So here I stand
I can't accept this pain and rejection
I showed you my secrets

I take one last deep breath
My body shakes
My heart races
I take the step

There I sat
On the corner of 2nd and Main

You never came
The reason why I will never really know
I though you rejected me
But that wasn't really so

You had been mugged on the way
You lost your life
Over a diamond ring
You promised forever

You meant it
You wanted our future together

There I sat
On the corner of 2nd and Main

Two blocks down
You were crying for help
And with your last breath you whispered
I Love You
