Waiting for the Light
Jennifer Pickup, 17.02.2026
We have been here before
I keep trying not to cry
My heart aches to hold you
And I can’t yet say goodbye
So I will just sit here
Keep holding tight to your hand
Relive all the memories
Speak slow so you understand
I wish I could tell you
How I’m actually feeling
But it wouldn’t be fair
Truth can be too revealing
Take all the time you need
We’ll keep waiting for the light
I’ll stay here beside you
Throughout the day and the night
You won’t be alone now
You don’t need to be afraid
And try not to wonder
About the plans that we laid
It’s been a strange journey
We went forward and then back
The horses were tiring
And now our reins have gone slack
I’ll seize every moment
When you open up your eyes
I’ll tell you I love you
I’ll smile but it’s a disguise
Take all the time you need
We’ll keep waiting for the light
I’ll stay here beside you
Throughout the day and the night
Don’t worry about me
I’ll be okay on my own
For it won’t be long now
Until I’m sat here alone
Time passes so quickly
And we spent ours together
Like the blink of an eye
There’s a change to ‘forever’
I kiss you on the hand
Study the shape of your face
I’m framing this moment
Trying to lock it in place
Take all the time you need
We’ll keep waiting for the light
I’ll stay here beside you
Throughout the day and the night
