i don’t know what made me think
she might reciprocate
my doubts made me hesitate
too much self debate
and then it was too late
before I took the bait
before I carried that weight
i needed to start with a clean slate
my past I had to recreate
to go back and change my fate
my fears I needed to abate
an inner peace I needed to locate
before finding a true soulmate
I ask you once again: please let me fall,
The season is not right to change my mind
You have to wait. Someone will make the call.
Writing or drawing, it all seems a scrawl
Reading a book sometimes makes me feel blind
I ask you once again: please let me fall,
I stand upright only because a wall
Is at my back. I am here to remind
You have to wait. Someone will make the call.
Falling is easier for a reckless soul.
That’s what I understand and what I find;
I ask you once again: please let me fall.
The world is now so large it has me in thrall
Of powerful emotions - at times unkind -
You have to wait. Someone will make the call.
I sing against the wind, I catch the ball,
I play with my dolls, keeping them aligned.
You have to wait. Someone will make the call.
I ask you once again: please let me fall.
