Waiting

i sit patiently waiting
have i met them already?
no, i doubt it
but they could be there - somewhere

looking for that something in everyone i speak to
and yet not getting my hopes up
but never giving up hope

waiting for the day when i will know
it may not be love at first sight
but i will know when i see it
yes, i will know

waiting
wanting to be with that someone special
not needing it
but desiring it

knowing they will be worth the wait
knowing that not just anyone will do
knowing the person is somewhere
who knows where

hoping to find them soon
never giving up hope
for without hope - we have nothing
and with nothing - we no longer exist
