One Day You'Ll Know

I am huddled in a corner 
Waiting for you to speak 
Waiting for you to love me 
Waiting for you to accept me 
Waiting for the day when you will know 
All there is to know 

One day you’ll know 
How my memories of you 
Are ones torn with torment filled words 
I craved for you to accept me as I am 
And not to break me to become who you want me to be 

One day you’ll know 
How I longed for my memories of you 
To be filled with laughter and shouts of joy 
There was always something else more important 
Joy and laughter are not priorities you said 

One day you’ll know 
You didn’t have to be correct all the time 
I didn’t want you to be perfect 
I just wanted you to be there 
For me as I have been for you 

One day you’ll know 
More wrong words have never been spoken 
When you told me to live my life 
As how others wanted to see me 
As to how others thought of me 

One day you’ll know 
That the most important standards are your own 
And others will always have something to say 
Nobody is perfect 
We can only let our own experiences be our teachers 

One day you’ll know, 
Innocence robbed can never be restored 
Caught deep in your misery 
You’ll crave for memories of joy 
For moments when “we” mattered more than “I” 

One day you’ll know 
You’ll realize that too many moments have slipped by 
So much time lost 
So much distance has come in between 
So many walls have been built 

But one day you’ll know 
Moments passed are moments gone 
Wounds may heal but scars will remain 
And scars of yesterday 
Will always be memories tomorrow 

One day you’ll crave for the chance to tell me 
That you do love me 
That you won’t change who I am 
That you will take me as I am 
That we have so much to talk about 
Where will I be, when you know?
