“WAITING”

Patience is a virtue so they say 

For good things wait until the day

But can you wait too long indeed

If your waiting is to fulfill a need

I found a girl across the sea

Who promised she would wait for me

I waited to hear from her everyday

Though I was far, far, far away 

I watch the phone and clock on the wall

Just waiting for my love to call

It felt at times like time stood still

But she had not forgotten and call she will

But her life and times are set apart

Three hours behind, her in day, me in dark

We said soon I would come to live together 

No more waiting time ours now and forever 

But being together in all things can't be

So back to the waiting in short term you see

For there are things she must do every day

Without you although you are not far away 

There is not much to do while she colors her hair

Or sees the technician who makes her nails fair

Sometimes you wait alone in the car

Bored and lonely though you know she's not far

Patience is the name of the game

From frustration and anger you should refrain

For it's not the quantity but the quality of time

That should be cherished with this new love of mine.
