"What Am I Waiting For?"

Early morning,

Still no sign of you.

I’ll be fine,

I’ll pull through.

I’d love to see that look in your eyes,

Love to catch you looking at me.

And I have to say,

When you don’t look away,

My stomache gets the butterflies.

Maybe I’m letting this go to my head.

But the dread of being alone for so long,

It dawns on you.

Dragging you down, you’re constantly in a frown.

I don’t want to mope,

But my love life’s no joke.

Why is it so hard to find someone?

Someone decent at the most.

Everybody seems not to care,

In what I want to share.

That’s why when you look at me,

My heart leaps.

Waiting for you to approach me.

Yet, you haven’t.

So I wait in silence.

Maybe for you,

Maybe for someone else.

I’m not sure anymore.

So, what exactly am I waiting for?
