I'll Be Waiting

This poem came to me a few years back. I sat down at my computer and wrote it as one continuous thought, start to finish word for word. Usually I write on what ever is lying around and then I finally put the scraps all together to form my thoughts, it's a little messy and scattered but it works for me. This poem was different and when I heard the music a few months later it fit perfectly and I didn't have to change a thing.
I was trying to date someone who thought it fun to make me wait, wait for him to come around. I stopped seeing him and after writing the song I called him to tell him I had wrote another song about him, I didn't say what the tittle was or what the song was about just that I had written one. I think I was poking a bit but anyhow his response to me was and I quote "I'm going to wait until you write a hole CD about me." I think I nailed this one right one the head. This is still one of my favorite songs to sing and stays true for any guy, it's timeless.

I'll Be Waiting
I'll be waiting
not for you but....

For the one who wants to make me happy
kinda sweet and sometimes even sappy
doesn't know what to do half the time
but I know he's all mine

Where I feel free and safe to laugh
cause he knows I'm his better half
when we wrestle with a knowing grin
playfully he always lets me win

I'll be waiting
I'll be waiting
not for you but....

For the one who trust and understands
I am trying to lend a helping hand
not crush him or hurt his pride
just show him his softer side

To the place where time stands still
face to face of our own will
where the mind can stop all it's games
to the place where we are all the same

I'll be waiting
I'll be waiting
not for you but...

For the one who doesn't make me blue
measure love by crying over you
someone who cares how I feel
cause if you don't than it isn't real

Who know you are mine and I am yours
someone tired of all the little wars
to the place in between happy and sad
in between indifferent and mad

I'll be waiting
I'll be waiting
Not for you but...
I'll be waiting for the one.
