Eighteen Years (lyrics) by Gloria Lee  
Eighteen years
They say, "It's okay
Cus you have the rest of your life to find him."
But I didn't care
I knew that I'd be fine
Just being by myself for now
Cus I knew he'd come to me
But I was afraid of how long it would be

Nothing new came to me
I was losing inside my mind, no words to say
No inspiration for what was happy
Everything was gray
No love or hearts engraved into the walls within my heart
And then you came
You turned my life around

Everything you do
And everything you say
It comes so naturally
And everything you are
I couldn't come to believe that you
are you.

I relate to this a lot--I waited 18 years too! I don't regret it a bit either :)

People seem as if they like to rush getting into relationships. My classmates in middle school were like that, and I even have a friend who sort of did in 4th grade (an intense infatuation, I guess). I always knew when was a good time for me. I could have gotten into one in 7th grade but decided against it since the situation seemed too unpractical and bizarre. So, this song is about waiting 18 years (yes, I was 18 years old when I wrote this) and not regretting one bit of it.
