Romeo (still in progress)

Can I say that I’ve waited for you?
Will I be able to when we meet?
Have I kept my heart pure,
Clinging to the promise you represent?

I get so impatient
And I forget His goodness
I try to find you on my own
Or declare you don’t exist at all

Every now and then I see a hero
A glimpse of who you might be
Then my dreams are reborn
From the ashes of heartbreak

Are you mercurial?
Or a soothing song?
How will you impress
And annoy me?

Will you sing for me?
Will I give you children?
How are you broken?
And can I help you heal?

Have I met you yet?
Did you like me at first?
What changed things?
Do you mind my questions?

Can we stand each other’s music?
Do you mind my singing?
Would you write me a song?
Do you like to laugh?

Did you wait for me?
Can you forgive me
For giving those pieces of my heart
To other men?
