In Waiting
9/1/02
I can think of a thousand ways in which I feel the pain
The gnawing of a thousand demons driving me insane
I wonder why it is this way in which I have to feel
As something deep inside of me makes it seem too unreal
But then I wonder why does this ancient feeling still remain
Waiting, slowly waking then, inside my lonely brain
And though you let me down as thus, I miss you even still
As no one seems to want to step into your spot and fill
Yet I sit here and tell myself just how much I hate you
But still, inside I know that not just any girl will do
What you and I had should have been sacred but now it's gone
As I pray for special someone, silent, waking in the dawn
I long for nights of dancing and holding someone close
But feeling being wanted is what I long for most
Though as I lie in wait painfully I realize every day
That wishing, wanting, hoping won't make this go away
But to a brand new dream girl, for you I watch and wait
Another sleepy dreaming about you in my current state
And so I long to meet you and tell you how I feel
But once again sometimes it seems a little too unreal
So come to me my beautiful or I’ll find my way to you
I'll treat you right through thick and thin, do all that I can do
For lo, we'll be inseparable and never be apart
Or at least, that's what I wish and hope, and long for in my heart...
