On The Rebound

by Marlena - Cancer

I'm trying so hard to fight this feeling that
I have for you inside,
I don't want to get hurt again,
by letting you in.
Please don't be mad.
I just don't want to jump into another
relationship that I'm that prepared to
deal with at this time.

I know you can make me happy and
give me the life that I've always prayed 
and hoped for,
But my heart won't let me show you that 
I want to be with you just as much as you
want me too.
Please understand that I want you more
than just a friend.
I can't stop thinking about you and me together
some day,
When all my pain have gone away, giving me a
chance to love again.

You know that my heart was broken by 
the greatest love of my life,
That's why I can't let you in.
I'm so afraid of falling in love again,
that it hurts so much inside when I think
of being with you.
I want you so bad,
Without you here, my life would be so sad.
Please wait and give me some time.
I just need to find myself and pull it
together.
Then you'll have me to yourself,
not just someone who commited themself to you
on the rebound.
Making you second best, a title you clearly
don't deserve, because I see you as someone so 
special to me inside.
Someone who deserves to be loved so much more,
for being himself.
So sweet and kind.

Just give me a chance to prove to you of
myself,
I want to have you in my life,
just as much as you want to be there for me.
I know that we can be happy if we try,
but I just don't want you to be my rebound
man to hurt your pride.
I care and respect you too much, then to have
you in my life simply as that.

So baby if you wait on me, I'll give you my
heart and everything that I feel inside.
My love for you will always be pure, 
There will be no other man within my heart,
For I'll only love you.

Reason for writing:

    For a special man who has given me hope and something
to look forward to in life.  I just want to take things nice and slow and hopes he will wait for me...
