Forever Is Too Long To Wait


There once was a day

When I thought that things could remain the same

I would have waited forever until you could realize

Your own worth and how strongly I felt

But to this day, I still have to reassure you

And hope that one day you’ll see it too

 

When it comes to my feelings, which believe me there are many,

Including the ones I have already told

Each day only holds misery and pain as I see your face

And I realize that time is beginning to run out

To you it’s only the beginning but

To me it feels like a devastating end

 

I just need to know for sure

That you feel it too

Before I wait forever for you

I need us to just give it

All we’ve got while we

Still have the time, before it’s taken from us

 

Forever is too long to wait

When it comes to happiness

All I want and all I ask is to just take the chance

I would never let you down

Take my hand and just let go of your fears

And lead us to the place we both want to be
