I came so close to breaking down, <br />so close to losing it all. <br />I never thought that this I'd say, <br />But please catch me when I fall. <br /> <br />For so long I've been running away, <br />afraid to face my fears. <br />And now you've come and picked me up, <br />and wiped away my tears. <br /> <br />If only you could see, <br />just how far I've come. <br />The person I used to be, <br />and the person standing here...right now. <br /> <br />So could you wait a little longer, <br />for the sorry I wish to say. <br />For only you could ever know, <br />how much it hurts this way. <br /> <br />I thought I kept it still, <br />locked up and hidden far. <br />And yet you come and pry my heart out, <br />open to you as the sun. <br /> <br />Many nights you've seen me, <br />at my very worst. <br />And yet you love me all the same, <br />Filling my heart till it bursts <br /> <br />If only you could see, <br />just how far I've come. <br />The person I used to be, <br />and the person standing here...right now. <br /> <br />(I meant this as a song, but it can go both ways :)<br /><br />Mandy Lee<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/just-wait-a-little-longer/
