The Leaf

​The Leaf 

I saw a leaf blown by the wind 
It kept flying for minutes up high  
I wanted for it to land on the ground somewhere 
But it just stayed in the air, like a bird in the sky 

Then the leaf flew in my direction 
I couldn't help but try to catch it 
But it flew higher and higher 
Until I couldn't see it anymore 

I imagine immediately if love was like that 
You see it coming, but you just can't have 
How painful it is, how sad I will be 
When love so near, in a flash is gone 

I wonder still If I will ever catch that one leaf 
Just like love, I want to own it one day 
If I have to wait a thousand years for love to pass by me 
I find ways to survive that long to have love in my life 

​I keep wondering if I deserve a love at all 
If I know how to handle, how to take care of 
My heart is as open as the sky, as wide as the ocean 
But it seems I don't deserve someone to call my own 

Life is like that, I have to be patient all the time 
There's always a set time for everything, it's God's time 
Someday that someone will come, and my arms are open wide to welcome 
I will never let go of that someone then, and let forever bind us together
