Maybe One Day

Will he give me the time of day?
Will he listen to the things I say?
Will he hold me tight when I'm down?
Will he do what he can to save me if I drown?
Would he ask me why I'm crying?
Would he care if I told him I was dying?
Would he love me for all I could be?
Please say that he could love ONLY me!
Could he ever love me for who I am?
If so, I want him to shout it to the world - say he's MY man!
Is it too much to ask to be someone's only?
Too much to ask to not be lonely?
All I want is to be happy,
Maybe even someday have a family.
Maybe I've got this all wrong.
Maybe I should wait until I am strong.
Maybe I should love myself to begin with,
Then into loneliness I will no longer drift.
Maybe then he will love me for me,
And not the easy girl he seems to see...
