Waiting for Me

By: Sara Lynn Zuidema

When I first met you,
you were like no one I had ever met before.
You opened up my eyes and heart
and showed me what I was looking for.
But I am not ready to walk down the road
that with my own two eyes I can't see.
Who knows what that path holds.
Who knows what is at the end
waiting for me.

I thought I was dreaming;
soaking up every word you said.
But in my heart I knew better,
then to let you take my breath away.
You moved too fast
by trying to steal my heart away.
If only I could go back in time
not to repeat yesterday;
not to have you fall in love with me.

I have taken so much time.
I have tried so hard,
to clear this head of mine.
But I know my feelings are true.
You may love me so much,
but I don't love you.
It's not right
and it's not fair.
To tell you lies about feelings
that are not really there.

I don't want to say good bye,
but maybe it would be better that way.
We are so far apart,
we are just dreaming anyway.
I don't have much to say to you,
the words just won't come out.
I know this feeling in my heart
it's a feeling of doubt.
