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.
