You Just Passed By...!

We would stand by the gate and wait
That you would come home
And get us something to eat
Either a puff or pastry or some little sweet
But then it would rain
And we open up an umbrella, still stand there
In a while we forget that umbrella and run to collect some ice
I throw mud at her and she would scream
We beat each other and get beneath the umbrella once again, all wet
We shiver but still wait
Knowing you would come we stand there until its dark
Far across, an image would appear
We hope it was you until it would disappear
The one who just walked past wasn’t you
But we didn’t care, coz we always knew
You would come by, holding that little thing for us to eat
And then you did. You got something no matter what
We cheered and fought
I beat her again but we ate all of that
Next evening, it would all just repeat
Until this, when we know you wouldn’t come
We ask nothing but pray you would come
But you know, you wouldn’t
We know we shouldn’t wait
But then an image appears, not far, somewhere very near
Probably somewhere deep within
And it would never disappear
This wait would never be over
And I wipe her tears
She would wipe mine
We don’t play anymore in the rain
We don’t feel hungry for that pastry
But one thing remains
Wherever we are, we wait
What if you just passed by...!
