Worth the wait

Once upon a time there was a guy
who didn't find love cause he didn't try
he saw peoples lives and relationships to
and decided to attempt something new
he decided to see if he could wait
for the perfect person to ask on a date
to wait for the person that he could see
was everything he wasn't and wanted to be
not just a person that he thought was sweet
but someone who'd make his life complete
someone kind, inspiring, honest and true
someone he would believe if she said "i love you"
so the years went on and as time went by
it got more difficult, he really had to try
but he knew at the time that if he would just wait
for the perfect person not just good but great
he'd be happier than he ever thought he could be
but as time went on it got more difficult to see.
"why do i have my standards so high?"
"how will i know what love is if i don't even try?"
he began to ask himself nearly every night
if this whole thing was even worth the fight
he struggled and vented to (at the time) his best friend
who happened to be a girl, that was a mistake in the end
every night she knew more of this crazy kid
who wanted true love more than anyone ever did
he began breaking down nearly settling for less
he almost went out with this girl he could second guess
they just said they liked each other and kept it at that
they chose to keep the rabbit inside of the hat
but now someone cared for him like no one ever did
he wasn't used to it and slowly he slid
he got in to deep with a girl who in the past
never had feelings for someone that would last
he wanted the real thing and she did not
so she found someone else, that hurt him allot
he thought it would take forever to heal from the pain
but a girl came in his life that washed him like rain
he then wondered why he nearly settled for less
and didn't just wait for the very best
this girl very quickly became his best friend
and he knew he wanted to be with her till the end
as time went on and there friendship grew
he knew he found the one he could say "i love you" to
there still best friends don't get me wrong
but there something more to that makes them so strong
there the best combination of friend and lover
because of that they know they'll always love each other
he doesn't have to show that his feelings are real
but does anyway cause he likes how it makes her feel
its all just so selfless they put each other first
they stay with each other even when there at their worst
they know that nothing can tear them apart
especially not distance, cause she lives in his heart
so this crazy kids dream finally came true
now he can say "Heather, i love you"
so its worth the wait for the one who's meant to be
i know it first hand cause this story's about me

Heather, i love you
