Too many hearts are broken and love is thrown away

Too many hearts are broken and love is thrown away. But I believe somewhere out there Is someone that stays. Someone patient and kind Whose lips are hungry for mine. I need a friendship that waits. I know I’m not ready for something that’s “MORE” At least not yet. Are you someone who can slowly help me build a mountain of trust Until our walls come down and crumble to dust With words that are honest And Loyalty that abides. Can you help me build a love that is shelter Where we don’t have to hide. Setting us free of the armor built by the pain Are you the one? Can you wait? Can you listen when I’ve had a bad day. Hold me close when I’ve made a mistake Or life makes me tremble and shake? Are you gentle and quiet When anger comes to play? Can you laugh when we disagree and still make me feel like you’re in love with me? Am I asking too much? Is this just a dream? Wanting a love filled with compassion and empathy? Wanting a friend who’s touch sets my body ablaze? And can I find that someone through the darkness and fear in my veins? Can I stop running away? I need a friendship that waits To open the door. someone that stays. Someone patient and kind Whose lips are hungry for mine. That is the key to setting me free So I can be yours.
