My heart is broken<br /> My words are unspoken<br /> My tears are saying all that needs to be said.<br /> Thoughts and feelings through my head,<br /> How dare you do what you&#039;ve done to me?<br /> How could one guy cause all this misery?

I'm tired of waiting
for Mr. Right to come around.
I can't make him love me.
Ican't make myself love him.
I honestly don't know
exactly what love is.
Is it that feeling
in the pit of my stomach
whenever you're around?
Or is it that loss for words
whenever I see your smile?
Love, an inventionof fictional authors,
is it an imaginary emotion,
or is it some magical experience,
worth all of this impatience?
I can't wait for it forever.

For anyone who is tired of waiting for the right person to come around. I always just tell myself, why not have a blast with Mr Wrong while I wait? Rae and message, this one's a short little work-in-progress.
