Love is Patient

(Facebook Note from March 12, 2008)

This place we call home can seem so lonely,
This is not where I belong, I know this to be true..
But sometimes the only thing that keeps me going
is knowing that sooner or later I will find you.

I know these heartbreaks will be worth it,
and I know my patience will be praised;
But watching others fall in love
isn't something I can bear watching day after day.

How do I find you? Do you even exist?
Searching for you can sometimes seem so hopeless,
and some days I wonder if I should even persist.

But if you're out there,
and I pray everyday that you are,
Please have patience with me, too..
For I can guarantee that my love is not too far.

I promise I won't give up hope,
I'm here with arms wide open..

But I beg of you
Please don't settle for anything less
because when I put that ring on your finger,
I want you at your best.
