As I Sit Here and Wait

As I sit here and wait My mind slowly does churn Memories of you around and around The sound of your soothing voice The smell of your infatuating scent The touch of your smooth skin The sight of your unmatched beauty Time turns to stone As I wait alone Unrighteous anger makes me its home The sound of him making you laugh The touch of his hand in yours The sound of his endearments to you The touch of his lips to yours My fists are clenched Sweat crosses my brow I fight the anger away It makes me sunken and hollow It tells me I will never have a chance with you It creates my depression It foretells my unhappiness But I fight my anger away The anger banished I sit and wait Now only a test of my patience remains As I sit here and wait Our lives go on I await the time when they'll combine
