Rescue

by Melissa   Aug 5, 2008


These seasons will change one by one.
In your mind I'll fade away for our story has come undone
Again just a damsel in distress
Staring out the window, my heart is in such a mess.

I asked the mirror on the wall to tell me all that was true
Only I didn't get a response and I didn't fit into the glass shoe.
So often I think I'll finally get carried away off my feet.
However I have no men, lining up, no one willing to compete.

He doesn't have to ride horseback or have riches to worlds end
Love for me, is all I need, someone who doesn't play pretend
Someone who will whisper sweet messages into my ear as he holds me tight
I want someone who wants to be with me, willing to put up a fight.

A pedestal is not what I am asking for.
Just a common love that is fulfilling, rather than a chore.
I wish he'd get here soon so I wouldn't be alone gazing out this glass pane
Loneliness overcomes me, among other feelings I wish to not explain.

I've written too many letters and uttered too many goodbyes
Wiped my eyes on handkerchiefs, after one too many cries.
Spilled my heart out, and thought honesty was key
However I have come to find, not many do agree.

Still in search of the truth, I look to the sky to bring me ease
I will cry these tears of pity, and let my mind get lost in the summer's breeze
Love will return to me, I know, time after time.
Hoping his kiss will wake me, if he's ever going to commit to make the climb.

Happy ever after, only happens in story books, I know.
But I will keep on dreaming, for you had me at hello.
