If You Were Mine

If you were mine
would I be so unsure
of the way that you feel about me?
You tell me you care
and that I am the one
but those are just words I can't see.
You say it'll get better
and things will be great
and all I can do is believe
but in the mornings
you depart from my bed
it is so hard to watch you leave.
Not knowing when
you'll hold me again
but I know it won't be soon enough
the days in between
when I'm all alone
are solemn and lonely and rough.
I yearn for the time
we'll be together
no longer a secret, but real
the world will see us
and all that we share
and no one will doubt how we feel.
If you were mine
I could wake to your kisses
and bid you sweet dreams every night.
No sneaking around
no need for lying
only you can make this all right.
How long must I wait love?
when will you cash in
the promises you're so quick to make?
I hope that it's soon, dear
for the sake of this love
because I don't know how much more I can take.
I want you all mine
I don't want to share
and I don't think I'm being to bold.
You have to realize
that I won't wait forever
and this affair is going to run cold.
So show me you love me
the way I love you
leave her and come be with me
you say that you want to
I'm ready and waiting
for things as you promised they'd be.
