I wrote this song for my girlfriend, now wife, when we were beginning a long-distance relationship. I told her to "wait for me" and I would join her. However, the lyrics are non-specific enough so anyone can relate.

Lyrics
(VERSE 1)
I left you crying in the door.
We could not hold on anymore
for now apart we must be torn.
We're both afraid of what's in store.
We tell ourselves this time will fly,
knowing too well that's just a lie;
and mere phone calls will not suffice,
through anxious days and lonely nights.
(CHORUS 1)
But if you wait, wait for me.
Though fate may test us
do not concede.
Have faith and believe.
Your strength I have seen.
I'll come to you, just wait for me.
(VERSE 2)
We saw this coming all along
but this love's too perfect to be wrong.
I know you're hurting please be strong
and in my absence here's this song.
Please know I want to make things right
when it's because of me you're crying.
You ask when will I join your side
but that answer I can't provide.
(CHORUS 2)
But if you wait, wait for me.
Though fate may test us
do not concede.
Have faith and believe.
Your strength I have seen.
I'll come to you, just wait for me.
(VERSE 3)
Two hearts connect through oceans wide
then pulled apart by changing tides.
You're afraid, well so am I
of anxious days and lonely nights.
(CHORUS 3)
But if you wait, wait for me.
Have faith and believe
The fate of this love is true
so I'll come to you
just wait for me.
