Waiting

Feeling so uninspired
wish i could start a fire...

Missing seems worse than not having
sometimes
so close
but unreachable
so far
but totally driveable
So Inconvenient.

Who made this distance?
Who made up these rules?
Who said I have to obey them?
I think I did
and I’m sorry
I regret
and yet
without them
would we be where we are now?

I’ll love you forever anyway,
but we’re gonna have witnesses.
I’ll love you whenever,
but we’re about to do this for everyone.

I can’t wait to touch you
I can’t wait to whisper
I can’t wait to love you
Forever
without anyone there
unless we want them.
Without these stupid lines and constraints
unless we make them...
But i wont.
Not ever.

Two years
that’s sometimes felt like (forever)
too long before
never enough now.

I can stand missing you
knowing the reward will be
sweeter
than eternity without you.
I can stand the waiting
knowing you’ll be
coming home soon.
