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 |
| 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 is how I’ll bide my time |
| Then I will set it down |
| Til we lose our caution |
| I’ll honour your order |
| Because 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 to mention |
