For the one who grew up

I realize now I had a lot of growing up to do,

And I realize now, baby, maybe it was me and not you,

But what I hope is that one day you’ll see,

That maybe you were meant for me.

I know now is not the time,

And I’ve come to accept that that’s just fine,

But I pray that somewhere down this road,

Maybe once I’m fully grown,

That you’ll take me back into your arms.

I know I can’t say for sure,

But what I do know is that our love was pure,

Entangle in joy, full of light,

I know, baby, we were alright.

But how to get back to that place,

Where we saw eye to eye and face to face,

You grew up and while I stayed back,

But maybe one day we’ll be on the same track.

I know the future isn’t ours to tell,

But, baby, wouldn’t it just be so swell,

You and me, together again,

Oh Lord, please tell me when.

I promise to learn, I promise to grow,

These things I hope you know,

I want to be the one for you,

Cause, baby, our love was once so true.

You have to miss it, even just a bit,

You couldn’t have taken this without a hit,

Baby please know that I will wait,

Baby please just let it be our fate.

I didn’t have patience, but here’s how I’ll gain it,

Our paths will meet again; just time will pass before we attain it,

Oh baby, let me love you like I know I can,

Oh Lord, could this be your plan?
