A test of patience

by Melissa S. Masucci   Jul 7, 2006


The difficulty remains
that as time passes
I find myself drawn to you
more and more

Each passing day
I forget what it was like
before you, my life then
dry and dull

And now I wonder
what I would do
if your role in my life
were to end, vanish away
just as fast as you
came into it

The problem lies
in my heart
and the fact that I love you
too much to accept your decisions
and respect you
so much that I do

And so here I am
miserable without you
waiting for your word, a decision
that will make or break

Hoping selfishly that
when push comes to shove
you'll see me, see how much
I truly love you.
