i'm a patient person
it's easy to wait
easy to count down weeks, days, hours, minutes
it's easy to wait 821 days until graduation
2 and a half weeks until spring break
2 hours until the end of practice
2 more minutes on the erg piece
750 more meters on the 2k
time passes constantly, and you know the end will come if you just wait
but it's hard when you don't know when the end will be
when you're waiting for someone to love you
when you're waiting to be happy again
when you're waiting for your father to get better, and love your mother
when you're waiting for the day that you'll finally die, so that it'll all be over
and you won't have to wait for anything again.
i guess those days are past
i wait for happier things, like spring
and rowing on the water
and happy days with someone who makes me happy
and for someone just to say i'm beautiful, and i mean the world to them
and they never want to let me leave.
but i'm a patient person
who is good at waiting
and i'll wait as long as i need to for that to happen.
