I have never been one
For practicing patience
And loving you has revealed
To me
That it is worth the wait
It took eight years
To be yours
And if I knew the love
We would someday share
I think I could wait
Another eight years
If it meant by the end
I would be yours for the rest of time
You have taught me
That I am far more capable
Than I ever thought possible
You have taught me love
And patience
Both very beautiful things
Love does not have to hurt
It does not have to take away my voice
It does not have to use me until
I have nothing left to give
No, love is supposed to
Give me a voice
And fill me with more love
Than I ever thought could fit
Inside my heart
