For Thee

So many words, so many feelings
They can’t be efficiently expressed
So many thoughts, so many yearnings
They can’t be encompassed in a vessel

Let me put them all in a song
Let me write them down in a novel
What else can I do to make you know
What else can I do to make you see
This person standing here waiting
For you to acknowledge all that she can give you

I am waiting in the rain
Hoping that you will be moved
I am waiting by the subway
Hoping that you will look my way

How cold you can be
How cruel you can be
Is this a test of my patience
Is this a test of my loyalty
Please don’t doubt my words, my love
When it’s all meant for thee
