The Bridge That Waits
This is not the bridge you cross.
It is the bridge you stand on.
Not because something blocks you,
but because what’s behind you
no longer holds —
and what’s ahead
has not answered yet.
There is no urgency here.
No countdown.
No command to “take the step.”
The bridge waits.
And in that waiting, something becomes visible
that movement always hides.
Many think they are standing still out of fear.
Often they are standing still
because something is loosening
that cannot be carried forward.
This is a place for that pause.
Not before the decision.
Not after.
But exactly where nothing is required yet.
Intro]
This is not the bridge you cross.
[Verse 1]
I’m standing here, and time feels thin.
Not pulled back, not moving in.
What carried me has lost its cost.
What’s coming next is still unknown.
[Pre-Chorus]
No sign says stay.
No sign says go.
[Chorus]
The bridge just waits.
Not early.
Not late.
It holds the weight
without a date.
[Verse 2]
They call this fear, but fear would run.
This stays when leaving feels undone.
Something loosens.
Something slips.
Not everything survives the trip.
[Pre-Chorus]
Stillness shows
what motion skips.
[Chorus]
The bridge just waits.
No need to choose.
No step to take.
No ground to lose.
The bridge just waits.
[Bridge]
Not before.
Not after all.
This is the pause
that doesn’t fall.
[Final Chorus]
The bridge just waits.
Until it’s clear
what walks with me
and what stays here.
[Outro]
I stand.
That’s it.
