A Love Still Waiting

I know you want to be happy,

With the new love you have found;

But you see the storms are brewing,

And they will strike your new love down.
*****
You know down deep you love me,

But you’re afraid to search your heart;

Pride and shame keep you from me,

And running will tear you apart.
*****
Others may see the outside,

But I still see the good;

You see what we used to be,

And I see what we could.
*****
You can keep on hiding,

But soon you will be found;

And I’ll be there to pick you up,

Even off the ground.
*****

If you could only trust me,

And let your feelings show;

You would find a love still waiting,

Just like you used to know.
