I wish love had found me at childhood
I wish love and I had grown up together
I wish love and I were friends for 20 years and then finally decided to date
I wish love... had found me by now.
But love is somewhere else while I walk in the sun after a day at work.
I don't want to meet love in college, through another friend. I want love to share his notes with me because I missed a lecture because of the common cold.
I don't want love to walk with a strut, I want love to slouch a little from the weigh of his backpack.
I don't want love to approach me without decency, I want love to strike a casual conversation about my shoes or offer to carry my textbooks
I want love to do and be all that but realistically speaking
Love may be asleep when I am awake
Maybe I'll only meet love for a brief moment on the subway,
And maybe Iove isn't the dating type
I wish that love was here to tell me the things he doesn't like
I wish he was here to offer his sleeves to wipe my tears
I wish he was here to pat my head but love
is still so far from me
Maybe
20 years too early.
