Poem For Heather Babe

I wrote this on Poetry Marathon. Uhh...yea. It's basically for heather, so I thought I'd put it here.

 "i would wait for you" 

 my fairy
 fairy god mother 
 my shooting star
 she's got stars in her eyes, 
 which i haven't seen yet
 with silver wings, with glitter in her eyes
 i can see my reflection in her (eyes)
 she told me something today
 it could've been a whisper
 or a shout
 they were her words
 "don't wait for love" 
 i wish I could have looked into her eyes
 and seen the ocean behind them (i know it's there)
 but I felt it in her voice instead 
 Maybe I haven't told you yet

i love you

 but haven't i? many times before
 now I must have
 or maybe i was just 
 thinking it
 but there's no way you can't tell it in my
 voice
 but i owe it to (him)
 to wait this time 
 don't i? 

 "don't wait for love..."

 maybe i'm not waiting for love, or him
 maybe i'm waiting for myself.
 (maybe i'm waiting for myself to change)
