Ready. Or Not...

Feelings about something I wish I had.

I feel a yearning in my soul
For something I've never had before
I thought I'd had a taste of it once
But that turned out not to be true
For a time, I was depressed
I felt like I'd missed out on something
That I'd lost a vital part of me
I feel a burning desire for what I can't have
I want it so bad,
But I'm not ready yet, though I so want to be
I wasn't then, and I'm certainly not now,
Capable enough, strong enough, good enough
To take care of what could be mine
But, one day, hopefully I will.
