WAITING

When your first love hits you
What do you do?
Waiting for them to do something can take years
Involving much thinking with tears that seem to never run out of clouds

As little girls dream about prince charming sweeping them off their feet
Older girls wish they could catch a glimpse of what was once dreaming
Turned into hoping

When finding the man that seems to make everything OK
Don’t ever let them go
Even if the timing
The words never seem right

Feeling like you’re not that girl that’s filled with the special ingredient He’s been waiting for
Turns into greed
That eats with pain on the inside

Is it OK to want someone soooo much
You cut off all contact with the rest of the world
In order to keep what isn’t now
But maybe in the future yours?

Keeping a close eye on the item that makes your life complete
Can drive a person crazy
That one item goes on and off the market
But yet no matter what
You still never arrive when it goes on sale
Waiting
Waiting
Waiting for the right day you can take it home

Your closet cleaned out and ready for a fresh start
That’s when the tears are complete

While sitting here now
The perfect man is out there
He doesn’t have a girlfriend yet

I want him like a camera wants an emotion
Like a seed wants water
Like a baby needs a guardian

I don’t even know how to talk to him out side the friend zone
The reaction is my worst fear

A door will either open or close
The only question is when will I decide to knock
Speak
Let myself face
The temptation that lies beneath?
