Love Is Waiting

In the autumn on the ground,
between the traffic and the ordinary sounds
I am thinking signs and seasons while a north wind blows through
I watch as lovers pass me by
Walking stories - whos and hows and whys
Musing lazily on love
Pondering you
I'll give it time, give it space and be still for a spell
When it's time to walk that way we wanna walk it well

I'll be waiting for you baby
I'll be holding back the darkest night
Love is waiting til we're ready, til it's right
Love is waiting

It's my caution not the cold
there's no other hand that i would rather hold
the climate changes, I'm singing for the strangers about you
don't keep time, slow the pace
Honey hold on if you can
the bets are getting surer now that you're my man

I could write a million songs about the way you say my name
I could live a lifetime with you and then do it all again
and like I can't force the sun to rise or hasten summer's start,
neither should I rush my way into your heart

-Brooke Fraser-

For most people a song like this would be about that special someone in their life, even for Brooke, this song was about her then fiancee. I sigh when I read the lyrics; they look and sound so beautiful, so gentle and so promising. Makes you wish that it was your story to tell. I often dream about my man; what he'd be like, how our lives would evolve together--it's nice to think about that part of my future. But he's just a fiction of my imagination. Goodness knows if I'd ever find him (or if he even exists). I've watched wayy to many movies and series and read wayy to many books, to know how wonderful and painful a relationship can be. A part of me wants it so badly, and another part of me knows what I'd be giving up for it. My biggest fear is losing God as my no.1 priority. Relationships can get sticky and though, and some where along the line, people get too caught up in themselves, they forget about purpose and meaning. So, though I sigh when I listen to songs like this, I somehow end up smiling because I know this is my story to tell. The only man in my life now is God, and that in itself is great. And of all the relationships you can be in, God's the only guy that will never let you down or dissapoint you. He'll never bore you, nor will He betray you. He'll never scold you, nor will He ever leave you. He's the best; He's perfect. What more could you ask for? Love's been waiting for me all along =)
