Patience

I want you like no other
But I want my freedom too
I'm afraid our one chance at love
Will never turn into two

Life's thrown me some curve balls
But I'm getting along just fine
And now that things are going well
Should I risk, and make you mine?

To rush there is no need
I say we take things slow
Lets play these feelings by ear
And see how things can go

Maybe time is all we need
To see if what we feel is true
As hard as it is to wait
Patience is a virtue

maaaaaaaan. I love that joint right there. It feels like ive been in the situation before. With life you never know how many chances your gonna get but atleast 90% of the things that are really good, you only get one chance. I really like this, thank you for blessing me with this.
