I am overflowing with passionate love,
I want to pursue him with the excuse that I'm impulsive and young.
But I will wait and pray instead,
Because there is someone that I am meant to wed.
They all tell me that I simply must not possess the desire,
That I have never felt the ignition when someone sets my heart on fire.

But oh, they couldn't be more wrong.

I'm holding myself back because I love him more than I love myself,
I'm stepping back and letting him live, placing my own interests on the shelf.
When they tell me I don't feel the hurt,
When I see him laugh and I see him flirt,
It's because they don't understand that true love waits,
Jumping at each sensation is always a mistake.

My darling, I hope he's fighting and yearning,
And saving himself for a future that we can't determine.
If our souls were made to unite one day,
I'm not going to let my years go to waste,
On little boys who use me,
Or emotionally abuse me.
Soulmate, hear me, hear me:

O, my darling I want to learn who I am and my identity is not in a teenager's arms,
Although the feelings make my heart burn and I can't resist his charms.
Please don't be distracted by the pretty girls and their batting eyes,
Because it's insecurity in disguise.
Please take your time and see these tears and hear my appeal,
For more than anything in the world I want you to find a love that's real.

Darling, this land is wide and these people engaging and bold,
But please don't buy into the cheap love that's being sold.
You deserve more than the brokeness that comes from telling a girl: it's over,
You don't need "experience" to perfectly show a girl that you love her.
For when you meet her, your heart will speak the truth alone,
You'll take her hand, escorting her to the right side of your throne.
Tell her that you waited and that you paid the price
But you wouldn't change a single day because love takes sacrifice.

-AMK :)
