And So I Wait
So many things in life
Happen at other people's pace.
take for example waiting
Half a year to move into my own place.
I thought I'd learn to drive,
But didn't book my course
Early enough and so,
My licence will take longer to endorse.
The waiting stretches out.
Soon I see what I had changed, stopped
To accommodate these
And realise the passions I had dropped.
Anticipation have no doubt,
Makes things all the sweeter for
Looking forward to
Those things we slowly come to adore.
And so I wait because
You never really dwell
on those moments
which span the wanting, and all being well.
