Patience

Patience



To tell you how much I love you
is to say what you already know
but to kiss your lips
is what my heart does miss.
Honey, why did you have to go?

We said that our love was forever.
We said that our love was true.
Now you have gone away
and throughout each day
my broken heart cries out for you.

I always thought we could work things out.
Isn't that what love is about?

Patience.

We hardly tried to reconcile
a love that could have been worthwhile.

Patience.

Now I see you have found another.
I cannot believe you have replaced me so soon.
What did I do wrong?
Or has it been all along
that your feelings for me were untrue?

What does he have I am missing?
Are you sure that he loves you for real?
Are you first in his life?
Does he want you for his wife?
Does he honestly care how you feel?

I always thought we could work things out.
Isn't that what love is about?

Patience.

We hardly tried to reconcile
a love that could have been worthwhile.

Patience.


To tell you how much I love you
is to say what you already know
but to kiss your lips
is what my heart does miss.
Honey, why did you have to go?
