What Are We Waiting For?

What Are We Waiting For?, poem by Signe Robertson, 2009




I fell in love with a boy
And he broke my heart
Then along came a girl
Who noticed I'm alive
And I noticed her
I fell out of love
And fell in love with a girl
Who fell in love with a boy
And broke my heart
Now what should I think?
What do you want from me?
Am I your friend
Your girlfriend
A sex fantasy
Or merely a toy?
What am I now doing wrong?
I have many flaws
I make so many mistakes
I'm lazy and whiny
Clingy and mean
But I try my best
I just need someone to love
Do I fall in love too much?
I only fell in love twice
Did I fall for you too quickly?
Or not soon enough?
Do I hold you too tight?
Or not tight enough?
What do you feel now?
What do you need?
I'm just a human
Just trying my best
I don't want things to be
Too quick or too slow
Too close or too distant
I just fell for you
And I know you fell for me
And so what if we're silly?
So what if it's soon?
What are we waiting for?
What do we fear?
I just know
That I wish you were here
I need to see your smile
I need to see you happy - It means so much to me!
