im waiting for the gesture
because actions speak louder than words
im waiting to be inspired
i want to hear someone and be heard

im waiting for better than perfect
i believe that i deserve no less
im waiting to know for sure
because it's not a time to guess

im waiting to dive in
since there's no point in just testing the water
im waiting to meet my ideal match
created by the same potter

i list these things that im waiting for
in hopes that they'll come to be
but one day i'll look up and find
that the waiting's caught up with me
