Waiting

My heart is filled with hurt,
It seems that I am the only one,
Trying to make this work.

Sometimes when I look inside you,
I can see a heart there.
Other times I look and I swear,
There isn't an inch of your body that cares.

You say you aren't ready,
But I am,
I need something steady.

I need you to commit,
I need you to want me,
I need you to see that we fit.

you say you have problems,
so what everyone does.
Instead of focusing on what could be,
you're stuck on what once was.

You say you're not ready to change yet,
But I can see the good in you.
i could see it the instant we met.

I wish you believed in yourself,
The way I believe in you.
I wish you could look in the mirror,
And just for a second, see what I do.

For now I'm just waiting,
for you to be mine.
hoping and praying,
It will happen in time.
