Eventually

I've prayed for years for the man of my dreams to step in and save me from the loneliness
I've asked for him to be strong, gentle, able to dance and have a sense of humor
I've asked for a man that is protecting, loving, decent, and mild
And I have such a man, but in so many pieces

I have a man who is loving from a distance
Who stepped away when I believed him to be too near
He was tall and handsome and danced so well
And wanted to dry all of my tears

I have a man who is strong and praises my world
Who protects me from the disasters of life
He may not dance but would have tried if I asked
And his sense of humor was rough but mild

I have a man who ran with my laughs
Pushed me into new exciting trials
He loved who I was although I didn't know myself
And he was coarse with his blindness

I have a man who wishes from where he stands
Who had danced with me many a time
I carry his love where ever I may go
And I wish him all that he deserves in the world

I have a man who is loving, playful and wild
Who released my wild side, is cheerful
And is funny, strong and protecting
In his arms I feel safe and beyond our years

I have this man but he is not the one
But with the man that was assigned to me
I can love for his traits individually
And stop wishing for the one that will come
        Eventually.
