ready for love

I am ready for love
Why are you hiding from me
I'd quickly give my freedom
To be held in your captivity

I am ready for love
All of the joy and the pain
And all the time that it takes
Just to stay in your good grace
Lately I've been thinking
Maybe you're not ready for me
Maybe you think I need to learn maturity
They say watch what you ask for
Cause you might receive
But if you ask me tomorrow
I'll say the same thing

I am ready for love
Would you please lend me your ear?
I promise I won't complain
I just need you to acknowledge I am here
ready for love, i. arie

i am ready for love. yes, we're talking about love life. my friend sha and i were just talking about something when the subject of love came up. i am ready for love. i think this is my affirmation. but i am not searching for it. i don't plan on it. i don't like anyone to try to make things happen. i want it to be special. i want love to find me. i want the person to just suddenly come to my life, and i to come to the person's life, as well. they say love finds its way. i'm waiting to be found. i'm walking, but not searching. i'm wanting, but not expecting. i guess, for the longest time, i can say, i'm ready for love.
