A True Love Waiting
At times I wonder about things
I am so often told that I think too much
But I can't help but ponder, critisize, and critique
It is my nature to question everything
Every motive, every word said to me
Maybe it is a bad habit, this doubt of everything
The doubt itself, however, has protected me
Protected my heart, and held me back...especially when it came to love
Friends throughout my high school years, felt sorry for me
They thought that my ideas of love were pitiful
Little did they know that I was the one that was right all along
I always believed that there was no such thing as love at first sight
And still today I feel the same
To me love is more or less respect
If you love someone you would give everything in of yourself for them
Love is righteous, kind, honest, and pure
Love cares more for the wellbeing of others, instead of one's self
True love is from God, demonstrated by God, and manifested in us
Finally the day comes that God gives you that person
The person you were meant to spend forever with
What is left after years upon years of marriage
This aging together is true love
What it must feel like to wake up every morning
To know that the love of your life is beside you
To fall in love, deeper and deeper every day
This is true love, a love that grows and expands, changing with time
Until this love I have found, then why should I settle for less
I don't want a crush, a high school romance
I want the love that God gives only to man and wife
So until the vows of holy matrimony I have have taken
Until I have become the bride, and the solemn token
I will not know any love at all, and be happy
For my love, my true love, is waiting a few years down the road...
And until that sweet day, it is all just a true love waiting
