Patience

Most of a person’s life is spent on waiting…..
Waiting for the bus, waiting for the train,
Waiting on love, or the end of anguish and pain.
It seems that time moves so quickly when enjoying yourself,
But seems to take pause when you’d rather be somewhere else.
There doesn’t seem to be enough hours, minutes, or seconds in the day when we’re together. Time tends to move to quickly when I want the moment to last forever.
There are milestones I want this relationship to achieve, yet at the current pace they seem far out of reach.
I’m not trying to pressure you or rush things along, it’s just that I’ve been waiting, waiting seven long years for us to become one.
Growing old together is the path I’m on,
I’m just trying to maximize on our time together, is that wrong?
I’m holding on to a dream that was once deferred,
It never occurred to me that I was causing you to be unnerved.
Maybe I just need to stop focusing on the future and live for the present,
Sometimes it’s hard to do with the past continuing to be a presence.
This relationship has evolved and grown into something so mature,
I guess I should exercise more patience to help it endure.
My main concern is sacrificing for something I’ve wanted for so long, only to be left alone.
I’ll try this thing they call Patience and see where it leads,
I’m placing my faith in you and praying we will succeed.
They say most of a person’s life is spent on waiting,
I say it’s not waiting, more like Anticipating…….
