That's A Fairy Tale Poem by Annie Cordelia Adams

isn't it time for me to love?
i'm waiting for a sign or something
that's the stupidest thing i've ever heard
i'm so alone i don't even have someone to wait with me

isn't it time for me to love?
someone who feels all the same things
that's a fairy tale so says the world
well i don't see it that way at all

isn't it time for me to love?
just one moment of hand to hand
face to face or heart to heart
i would lose so much to gain a love

isn't it time for me to love?
to sit under the stars in twenty degree weather
to swim too far out in the ocean
to play music for eternity, no one ever does

isn't it time for me to love?
i would lose so much to gain a friend
