Constantly Waiting

3 boyfriends ago I was naive and unsure of what I wanted, sitting there waiting for 
someone to come along. They finally did start noticing my summers grew extra long because 
of them but I regretted each and everyone because they left me torn. So loving was their 
touch that I wanted it forever but you know how all good things come to an end and we 
said our goodbye some good some not so much. Some we still talk, others I think not. Here 
I am just like before a little stronger and a little bit more aware of the world. 
Knowledge is power and learning from each and every hurdle made me stronger but here I am 
still waiting constantly waiting on my prince charming. The past guys merely walked with 
me I want someone to sweep me off my feet and keep me there. Is that unrealistic some 
how? I mean he has to be out there... can I still believe in fairy tales? Am I asking for 
too much? Truly I know that love isn't perfect. It takes time and I'll wait if it's not 
yet my faith to fall in love. But how long do you expect me to hold on? Constantly 
waiting looking out the window as the rain pours down. Everyone on the other side seems 
to have found happiness and I just want a taste.
