How long must I wait...

The phone rings,
and I jump...
It's not the sound that beckons to me,
It's not you...
Yet I still get antsy,
Excited,
Heart races,
Then slows to sluggish...

How long must I wait?

It's not about current silence,
I've the patience equipped,
It's not today, or tomorrow,
It's the bigger picture...
For you to see it...
See me...
Beyond the few flaws...
To grow...

How long must I wait?

I can't be perfect,
but I can be for you...
to show you a near perfect life...
Nothing more to promise,
Nothing more than everything,
Not a lifetime...
Just a life...

How long must I wait?

To shed the confusion,
To get past the doubt,
To open it up,
Press the gas,
Ditch the brake,
Use the clutch,
Shift to 5...

How long must I wait?

Time ticks,
Like a metronome of life,
Tick
Tick
Tick
The sound numbs my mind,
Working on my soul,
My heart unfazed,
The rest screaming...

How long must I wait?

Tick
Tick
Tick
My heart laughs,
Yelling with indignation,
It doesn't matter
Tick
I don't care
Tick
I won't relent
Tick

How long must I wait?

Tick
Tick
Tick
I'm still here
Beat
Tick
Beat
Tick
My heart plays to the same rhythm,
playing a song...
a song titled...

How long must I wait?

Getting to the chorus,
Getting to the second verse,
Suddenly the mind screams out loud
Encore!!
Tick
Beat
Tick
Beat
Time passes, to the beat of this song

How long must I wait?

In the excitement,
In the music,
The mind hears the answer
The soul reverberates

How long must I wait?

It all seems so clear now,
How could they not agree?

How long must I wait?

The answer is this:
As long as I have to

I must wait

because the song isn't finished,
It is stuck in its chorus,
It needs an ending,
Happy
Melodious
The tune that sings

How long must I wait?
