![“U&amp;I I sit alone, waiting for those who will never come. I see them walking, I hear them screaming, yet... They're not even there? But how? I thought I saw you looking at me.. I thought I hear you crying my name... I swear you were holding me thast night! I swear you were looking into my eyes as I…” quote by Lorna Grace](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/a03/lorna-grace-16443_sadness_u-i-i-sit-alone-waiting-for-those-who-wi_1234524.jpg)   [Download](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/a03/lorna-grace-16443_sadness_u-i-i-sit-alone-waiting-for-those-who-wi_1234524.jpg) [Open image](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/a03/lorna-grace-16443_sadness_u-i-i-sit-alone-waiting-for-those-who-wi_1234524.jpg)

> “U&amp;I I sit alone, waiting for those who will never come. I see them walking, I hear them screaming, yet... They're not even there? But how? I thought I saw you looking at me.. I thought I hear you crying my name... I swear you were holding me thast night! I swear you were looking into my eyes as I was yours! ... It was you! You were there holding me! You talked me through the night.. But still I know that you were never there! Looking into the darkness I hide my pale blue eyes from the truth, I cover my face with a blanket of fear. Today was the day I fell inlove with you... But, why was yesterday the day I killed myself.. Killed myself for a love that still no one knew.”
