patience

I wish you could see the way you look through my eyes
I wish you could see the comfort I find in your smile
I wish others could see you through my eyes
I wish they could feel the way I do when you walk into a room

I don’t think you realize just how much you mean to me
No matter what you say, the truth is you don’t have a clue.

I found something in you long ago, that Ive never found anywhere else
Something I don’t think I ever could find anyplace else.
I found my other half.

No one makes me feel the way you do.
I never feel quite as safe, quite as happy, quite as calm
I wish you knew how it feels when you’re near me.
Every ounce of tension, every bit of stress, melts away when I see your face
Breathing you in is all it takes.

I used to think his was the only scent that could intoxicate me
As with so many other things, I was wrong.
The smell of your skin, so close to mine, is the sweetest perfume I know

I wish you could see what I see when you walk into a room
I don’t see through you, I see right to your core

I know things no one else possibly could
I know how afraid you are of being hurt
I know that if given the chance you would never hurt me
Given the chance, you could be happy

I’m not sure when , but at some point in time I fell in love with you
Real love. True love.
The kind of love that even time would stop and be still for

You’re just as human as anyone
You make the same mistakes so many others have in human history
You need to learn your own way, just like the others
I don’t love you despite you imperfections, in fact I love you more for them

I wish you could see the way you look through my eyes
I wish you could see me the way I see you

I used to think I could wait a lifetime for that to happen
I was wrong

But as someone else once said, unfinished business always comes back to haunt you
Maybe one day, I’ll haunt you
It would only be fair
For you haunt me every day

You’re in my every thought, my every spoken word, my every movement
you are a fixed mark upon my heart.

I’m done
I’m done waiting for you to finally open your eyes and see
Every dream, every fleeting thought, every fleeting feeling of lightening
They were all right
They were all pointing to one thing

Me


I can only hope that one day I’ll haunt you the way you haunt me

Until then, I’ll keep loving you till it finally runs out just as my patience has.
