Hes still waiting for the day he looks in her eyes and he doesnt see the innocence of a little girl. Hes waiting for the smiles to fade and the happiness to vanish.

Hes waiting to watch everything else in the world fade away around her face and see her as a sharper and much more mature version of her former self. Hes waiting to see the guilt of many mistakes discernible in the lines and wrinkles of her features.
Hes still waiting for her to be a cruel old woman with nothing left but her job. Hes waiting for her to become him, that way one day when he finally admits to himself that hes hopelessly in love with his Katie, hell know she wont crash and burn if it all ends.
And it seems like hell always be waiting for her to be the one hes waiting for.
