Let Me Stand

Walking in love I often find myself in some very percocious situations.
For I find that most times I walk alone.
I turn the corners of the various possibilities of love.
But I always come to this dead end street.
Woundering why you're not there to lead me on.
I have become tired and weary 
in this neverending pursuit to start my life with you.
To travel down loves road for the rest of my life with you.
Many times I've tried to end this journey
and those are the times you rush in and say "see, I'm here"
"The road will be different this time, I'm with you".
And I let you pull me back, back to the very beginning of the road.
Over and over and over I've let you pull me back.
But I always end up at the same dead end again, and you're never there.
And today I'm standing there again alone.
And I know any minute you'll show up and grab my hand and say "Baby, 
You know I'm here for you, you know I love you.  
It's just taking a little more time than I thought.
Aw Baby come on". 
But this I'm not letting you pull me back. 
And as I stand looking out at the great big world around me,
I know I'm not ready to go out into it alone, without you.
I need time, I need courage, I need strenght.
There is no go forward yet, and no going back.
For now,
Just let me stand.
