Life On Hold

Claim your own joy No more waiting by the phone Hoping for a call that often never comes He is not the completion of you You are a whole person These lost hours can never be reclaimed Stop asking questions for which you have the answers Do not pour your love into a broken glass He is not worty of a love that is so pure He feeds on your soul Time to close the buffet Claim your own joy Discover the intricacies of you Realize you are lovable Don't count his failure as your own Your time is now You were never meant to live your life on hold Claim your own joy Let your laughter explode The one you are meant to Love will hear it You are made for better things You deserve so much more Yesterday will not be tommorow
