Worth the Wait

We first met when we were in high school,
Barely knowing who we were back then.
I knew that even though life was being cruel

Taking you away you would come back again.
I easily erased you because I though you were
Just a pencil, but you began to settle in like a pen

Written over mistakes. I though you would deter
Me from my dreams and become a distraction,
But you got me much closer to what will stir

Within my soul. It is more than just attraction
That pulled us together. It is that timing and
Fate that always puts us together. It is action

In the waiting game, but in holding your hand
I have found someone worth waiting for.
Time will keep moving forward as planned.

Some will say it is a waste of another open door
Or too many eggs in one basket, but once
You find home, you will stop looking for more.
