I waited
I waited for you to look at me
Standing in the rain for you to see
Turn your focus from rest
Even though I may not be the best
I waited for you to reach out
Your hand from your pocket to stretch out
To feel your fingers on my shoulder
Give me strength to move the boulder
I waited for your legs to move
Your presence around me to soothe
To come sit as the rainfall falls
No words but hearts would speak of all sorts
I waited for you to understand
See the world from where I stand
Have a feel of living inside my skin
With my life for you to be a bit more keen
But your eyes never saw my pain
Your fingers never rested on my shoulder
Your legs never moved, did they?
You never saw through my eyes
The wait was finally over
The longing for you eloped my heart
My legs gained strength to stand
To the ground never to return
Do not look now, don't stretch your hand
Don't move your legs, don't bother to understand
Just do you,I will do me
The truth that only I can be there for me, I now see.
