Sick of not knowing.
Sick of waiting.

It hurts to be alone
Knowing what it's like to be with you.

Running with no where to go
searching for the invisible

Like playing hide-n-go seek by yourself
You hide, but no one's looking

Watching sunsets alone
Wanting to share with someone

Then someone different comes along
Holds your hand, sings a song

You think you've found
what you've been looking for

A love pure and strong
Then comes a laugh

A laugh at your eyes
your loving eyes

"Didn't you know it was all pretend
Didn't you know I'm only a friend."

All a joke,
all for fun.

You search his eyes,
you thought you saw something there

but that warmth of love
was only the heat of passion

The lust for pleasure
the longing for satisfaction.

Far from the gentle tenderness
of a sincere heart.

But you will not be fooled again,
you will not be so naive.

You will move on past this hurt.
it will not fester and infect.

Stab and bleed it will
but it will heal

trust will come again
but slower, more cautious.

And then that longing will be fulfilled
not for satisfaction or pleasure,

but for love.
Love will come.

wait you will,
until at last.

you will find yourself  in the arms
of someone who truly cares.
