Waiting
I've waited almost 18 years,
I might wait 18 more.
I've waited so long to find someone,
Who's heart I can explore.

18 years have gone by,
Without a date or kiss.
All I can do is think about,
That moment of complete bliss.

The day that I will find someone,
Who will fall in love with me.
He'll look deep into my eyes,
And we'll know it was meant to be.

I know I'm not the prettiest girl,
No one would ever call me thin.
But my appearance won't matter at all,
I'll be beautiful to him.

He won't love me for the clothes I wear,
Or the makeup I carefully applied.
He'll fall in love with my heart and soul,
And who I am inside.

I long for him to reach out for me,
His arms will hold me tight.
He won't have to say a single word,
The moment will be just right.

He'll lift my face up to his,
And then our lips will meet.
The kiss will be simple but perfect,
Gentle, soft and sweet.

For 18 years I've hoped and dreamed,
Wished upon stars and even the moon.
And all these wishes are exactly the same,
That I'll find my soul mate soon.

I've been patient for 18 years,
But I believe in fate.
So please tell him to take his time,
And don't worry......

......I'll wait.
