Watching and Waiting

By Robin Aspen

 

Watching and waiting

For love just to come

But what I don't realize

Is that is it's right in front of me

 

It's hard to control

When you figure it out

You want to tell them everything

But you're still scared

 

Scared because you've been hurt before

Scared because you think they'll turn you down

Scared because this is your first true love

Hoping that they'll make the first move

 

Watching and waiting

To make sure your feelings are true

But what you don't realize

Is that they're waiting too

 

While you're still waiting scared

You give the wrong impression

That you don't like them

When it's all just an act

 

An act to "Protect" your heart

When all you do is hurt it

By watching them day by day

With another person wishing it was you

 

Watching and waiting

For love just to come

But what you don't realize

Is that its all ready gone
