[waiting]

If I had to wait another year

to know your love

I could wait a hundred more

to know it like no other.

 

If I had to wait another month

to feel your body

I could wait a thousand more

to memorize every touch.

 

If I had to wait another day

to hold your hand

I could wait a million more

to hold so tight as to never let go.

 

If I had to wait another second

to live my life without you

I could not endure a single more

of my heartbeats,

fluttering,

beating,

out of synch with yours.
