How Long Have I Waited

How long have I waited
For this letter to arrive
This notification of love
How long have I waited
For those three words
To finally pass through my ears again
Sure, I have dated
Around and about
Trying to find someone even a bit like you
Sure, I have dated
Shut my mouth and my eyes
Let them try to get through the wall
Breath slowly bated
I wrote it out to you
Begging you to take me back
Breath slowly bated
I tried to convey to you
Just how much I missed you
They all had me baited
Pulling me along
Trying to get me away from you
They all had me baited
Caught up hook, line, and sinker
Expecting I'd give up eventually
But so long I have waited
I knew you'd come back to me
Knew you'd hold me in your arms again
So long I have waited
My lips cherish the taste of yours
Couldn't survive without you
How long have I waited
So long I have waited
With breath bated
Smile jaded
Just kept waiting
For you to come back to me
