Patience

They say patience is a virtue 

But I’m finding it a little hard 

They say I’ll get what I deserve 

But I’m slowly falling apart

It’s not that I’m scared 

But more broken 

What if no one picks me?

What if I’m not chosen 

What if my edges are just too rough

What if my tongue is just too sharp

What if he just just left me with less of a heart?

But still says I’m the one that’s heartless

I prayed to God for patience

But I’m slowly losing reason 

They ask me daily

What if ‘the one’ doesn’t exist 

Could you handle it 

So I prayed to God some more 

And asked him to forgive me 

Although the light seems to fade away 

At least it’s not gone completely 

So I’ll wait 

I’ll wait for you 

Because I know you’re hurting too

So I’ll wait 

Cause 17 years is nothing compared to the years I’d like to spend with you 

So wait for me 

I know I’m hard to love 

But please don’t give up

I’m changing, growing, being a better me 

So we can be a better ‘us’

So wait for me 

I’ll be there soon 

So wait for me 

Like I’ve been waiting for you
