hard to feel

I guess it is hard to feel
when you have been hurt
so many times before
I too have been hurt
but it was just life
not other people
when you give your heart
and people turn away
or hurt you
it must be hard
to say I can do this again
but am I just trying to overcome the loneliness
it is hard to trust what has been torn before
can it mend and be strong again
or is it still weak and full of holes
I offer only my failed strength
for my past has failed me also
my past has led me here
as has yours
I dream not of yesterday
I dream not of tomorrow
I dream of a today
so full of happiness
full of you
perhaps next week
maybe later
the feeling will be strong
or maybe not
I'm willing to wait
I will wait for you to let me
I will wait for to let yourself
I will wait but will continue to care
continue to hold you
for I know that you feel
I can wait for you to realize that feeling
