I HAVE A PLACE FOR YOU


You never wanted love
Just to play around
You sought pleasure
At every turn
And used whoever
Was in the room
I wanted more
But thought you were the
Only one for me

Now years have passed
I see more clearly
And know who you are
No veil of lust
Or sense of confusion
Time has healed
Old wounds of desire

I have place you
In my history
And carry with me the lessons
I have waited
And have found
A better way to be
Alone is not as terrible
As I had once thought
