Coming Ready or Not

“I’m coming ready or not”, you call; 
I scramble one last time, 
To find a dark secluded spot 
That I can claim as mine. 

The time for hiding’s over 
Yet I’ll play this game awhile,
I’ll let you come and find me 
And greet you with a smile. 

Come and get me, if you please 
I’m ready for you now, 
I’ve longed for you to find me 
Just no one told me how. 

How to find you with my heart
My eyes have blinded me. 
It’s taken me so many years 
But now I truly see.
