I have climbed the highest mountain
I have sailed across the sea
I have wrestled with my demons
And woke up with only me
I have been around the block
Three times maybe four
And I think I deserve just a little more
In front of total strangers wont you kiss me
Flowers for no reason but you miss me
Oh I want to be in love
Youre standing on the doorstep in the rain
Cause you couldnt wait to see me once again
Oh I want to be in love
I have made some big mistakes
And Ive paid a heavy price
I found a little peace between will and sacrifice
I have watched as all my dreams
Went walking out the door
And I think I deserve just a little more
Im looking for a heart of gold
Im looking for a hand to hold
A happy end
Strong and kind
Somewhere to rest my troubled mind
In front of total strangers wont you kiss me
Flowers for no reason but you miss me
Oh I want to be in love
On tuesday light the candles bring me wine
Wednesday morning I wont get to work on time
Oh I want to be in love
Surprise me as Im stepping off the plane
Take my hand as they play our song again
Oh I want to be in love

I loved this song when it first came out years ago, and I kept thinking “That’s me.” This blog it’s not as much for the sing along moment as a non subtle message to all the guys interested. There’s not a single word in this song you can take forgranted, everything pertains to me and what I want. Read it, learn it, live it or get out of the way. I have set a lot of goals in my life and a lot of things are FINALLY falling into place. I love being single, I love the freedom, and I’m not about to trade in for anything less than what I deserve. I’m not going to add a stressful relationship in my list of things to take care of.
This past week has been amazing when it comes to reconnecting with old friends and meeting new friends. I finally got all caught up with school, I’m starting to get recognized at work as someone who deserves to be there, there’s really not much left I can complain about. I thought about this song and figured I’m only looking for one more thing before I die, but since I’m not planning on dying soon I’ll go ahead and wait for just the right guy. And looking forward to that moment I just can’t help but smile.
