I would one day love to look,
In the reflection of the water,
And know that the person looking up at me,
Is in love.

That my heart will race,
My pulse will pound,
My thoughts will be consumed
By them.

I will get a feeling of fondness,
Whenever they cross my mind,
And the bond we will share,
Is strong.

But that is only what I have been told,
Nothing of what I know,
Because I am not quite sure what love is,
I'm not.

I'd ask someone to tell me,
But what if they don't really know?
What some people believe is love,
Is not.

So I guess I'll wait until I'm sure,
Who knows how long it will be,
I'll stay on my toes and wait,
I'll wait.

For love.
