Waiting

I spent my days alone.  Sad.  Lonely.  Afraid.

My friends didn't know what to say or do.
Everyone told me:
All  you need is love, love.  Love is all you need.

I rejected that notion.  Love was the last thing I needed.
I could only guess what that was supposed to be.
The only love I'd ever known wasn't love at all.
It was anger, hatred, breaking me down to nothing.
No thanks, I didn't need any more of that.

I sat in the quietness of my home, waiting…

And then one day you were there.
In my heart.
In my soul, and in my life.

I never knew what I was doing.  I wasn't looking for you.
If I cry, it's not because I'm sad.
But you're the only love that I've ever had.
Seems that all I really was doing
Was waiting for love.
