Looking Through Cracks

I look through cracks in cemented down floors
          To try to catch a glimpse of a growing flower
               This is basically how I look at a lot of things
                    I find diamonds in the rough 
                        Perfect guys in wrong situations
                         I am patient 
                         My passion never wavering
                         I would water a crack in the ground
                          Just to see what beauty could sprout
                            Having this kind of mind set
                             Having this kind of preference
                             Leaves me lonley and waiting
                               Sometimes I wish I could settle
                                 But it just aint that easy
                                  Why would I be intrigued 
                                  By the garden where there 
                                    are plentiful flowers growing
                                      When I can have what's in this crack
                                        If I can have my exact type
                                          Down to the smile 
                                           Why would I want anything else
                                             Even dispite the situation 
                                              Dispite how hard my prize might be 
                                                  To achieve 
                                                I need a challenge
                                                   Is that so wrong?
