Seeking Solace

27

The waiting is killing me, my love.

I know you want us to wait for it to be perfect

and sweet, and true, and right.

But waiting these long hours under the stars,

without you here, is tearing me apart.

I know that too many things are against us,

too many miles, too many years,

but I don't want to waste your time.

I'm an all or nothing kind of woman,

I don't ask for much, only a chance.

So darling,

it's time you made up your mind,

I deserve better than hollow promises

and though I love you so completely that it terrifies me,

I'm strong enough to walk away.

Are you?
