Impatience

How long do I have to wait?

Before I can tell you the things I've been wanting to say

How long must I hesitate?



I know it makes sense but it's hard for me to stay away

But if this is how it has to be

Maybe it's just a feeling

That I could name

But I'd probably best blame...impatience



You can't miss - what you've never known

It's quite absurd how you started disturbing me so

Sometimes - when I am all alone

I lose my senses

I have no defences to go



But if this is how I lose my heart

Then I shall just embrace that

My pulse is racing still

I'm secretly thrilled

By the laughter that tumbled

And the tears that I spilled

As far as I know no one ever got killed

By impatience



Tell me - is there danger still?

I took no heed so a word might as well be deed

Although - I'd really like to see you now

I'm almost certain it can't be accomplished with speed



So, if this how I'll bide my time

Then I will set it down

Til we lose our caution

I'll honour your order

'Cos it's such sweet torture

To carry this torch

In the light of temptation

Beyond conversation and all expectation

Pausing a moment or two just mention...

Impatience
