Patients
For three and a half years I have craved your heart
Another five months and our paths will depart
Your hair is always a midnight beautiful and your figure so gently thin
Rose pedals is what makes up you soft, smooth skin
These are the things I have always wanted to say to you
But there are more things to say before I am through
‘In love” is what I want to say
Unfortunately, ‘Infatuation” is the songs your friends like to play
None the less, I know my heart is true
Hard days go by easier just by the fulfilling thought of you
The first day you talked to me, I was done
I do not have to search for the moon because you are the sun
Your so bright and warm, but still a million miles away
I get caught up in your smile and can not think of what to say
I would wear Abercrombie if it meant you would love me
I would throw my trench coat and my boots away if it meant you would always stay
I would cover up my tattoo if it meant I could hold you
For you, I would fold the highest hand
I could lose a game, but losing you is what I could not stand
But if you still don’t want me now, I will be just fine
I can wait forty years because you will just age like wine
I will still be your friend if you never give me a chance
And maybe one far away day in heaven we can dance
