Lady in Waiting

With my every aching moment
and with every breath I take,

I can even feel her near me
which I believe is not a mistake !

Because I know in my heart of hearts
she's out there looking for me, too!

The problem we seem to be having is
certainly nothing that's considered, new;

Down every hallway, history has completed
the answers will be lieing somwhere out there;

sometimes the shadows will end-up camoflauging things,
so the playing fields may appear to be unfair

It might end up being quite obvious,
or things could end up ending quite wrong;

like when sort of like having a tempo
that doesn't fit anywhere in the song.

Oh, I know for a fact I've been close
for I've nearly gotten everything, right.

I mustn't let regrets rule my actions
I might miss her while walking, some night.

Myself, I can't think of one person
that deserves but to live all alone,

maybe a few that think they are playes
also possessing certain "thug" undertones!

I've actually triied doing my very best
to be good, even secretly

which on occasion has come back to haunt
this gullible version of me !

I'd even like one-sided encounters
where our "moments" play out in only my head;

for then, I'd be allowed to apologise
for being somewhere else, instead.

There's one thing I'm very sure of
I've loved her for all of this time,

I must keep actively searching for her
to cease would be some kind of crime !

I seriously owe this to both of us
for together, we may greatly raise the bar;

she'll just have to be understanding
because I don't posess a car !

Confrontations have caused my face to get slapped,
making me feel like a bafoon !

That's when they're playing "hard to get"
and you can bet, I know the sound of that tune !

If it weren't for fates dull distractions
I'd probably have on my sad frown,

but, there's plenty of hope left inside me
if we do meet, she'd best stick around;

time being, I'll try my level best
not to act like some nit-wit pup,!

Then, I'll wear my best disposition
because, first impressions are really what's up !
