I'm waiting
It's this girl you see
Just one particular person
She's just very special to me

She mostly dresses in black
I think it's because of her past
And though she hides it well
Looking hard enough sees emotional cracks

Her eyes glow like diamonds
And her hair like brown wind-blown silk
However, her personality really hooked me
Just quiet, contented to be

She doesn't talk a whole lot
Not to me anyways
She just keeps a close circle of friends
And pushes me out of the way

I've tried talking to her
Several times now, but each time it's the same
Something about trust and differences
Then she just turns and walks away

So here I am waiting
It's seemed long now
Weeks to months turn years
Waiting for the girl in black

Is it worth the wait you might ask?
If I told myself no I'd be lying
For waiting is all that's left
So I'll continue to hope undying
