I was reading Chicken Soup for the Teenage Soul part 3;
It gave me chills and made me think
How much you mean to me.

I tried to find new words for you
But they all hit the floor;
I've said them til I was blue,
You know I love you more

Back and forth I go, with love and hate and anger.
I keep my heart on hanging strings and now it is in danger.

I wait for you to cut the cord and finally set me free,
Because you say there's nothing here and we will never be.

And then you turn around and miss my stupid face.
And I am certain there's a friendship no one else can replace.

So I sit and dangle for you, waiting for a sign.
I have wanted you for ages, just to be mine.

Ages I have waited and ages I will wait
I think one day you will see this is just our fate.

We started off together, a decade has now passed
But I think another one I could wait and just maybe last.

I know it sounds unreasonable to wait around for love
But I want you like nothing else I can dream of.

And so with hate and anger, passion and hope,
I pray you come around, and I cling tighter to desperation rope.
