Hearts & Heartache

We Waited

That particular look in her eye,
Is evidence that she truly adores me.
She's reading articles on how to support me,
Do you think that she's making up for the years that she ignored me?
Because before I met her.
I was badly broken,
And now her love is starting to restore me.

Even on the days that we fight
We always know when to call a truce.
Both ticking time bombs that need help to be diffused.

She's the only person I can be honest with,
I know the importance of truth,
And she puts me on a pedestal until I feel like Poseidon or Zeus,

Before she came into my life,
I literally had nothing to lose,
Now I'm building a life with her,
And I have so much to prove.
Because Noah let people on the arc,
But only in twos,
So if I ever have to make a choice,
She's the only one that I'll choose.

I chased the girl for 5 years, but I didn't realise she'd have this effect?
I mean she's the first partner that I've learned to appreciate and respect,
And when she's not around,
I have time to look back and reflect,
Because her walking away, is my biggest threat,

So I step up when it's needed,
And I always try my best,
Because life is so much heavier when she's not led upon my chest,
She's my reward,
For pushing on and passing the lords test.
But lord I'm petrified to lose her,
And it hurts to confess,

I'm used to the people I love, always giving up and leaving me,
They get to know the real me and then they run away immediately,
So I'm really not used to a person loving and needing me.
But every moment I'm with her,
There's new things she's teaching me,

Through out the years,
And all of the people that I've dated,
She's the only person who's ever seen me completely naked,
I'm not on about taking my clothes off,
Although that's the picture I've painted,
But I've bared my soul to her,
And that's a lot more sacred.

I know I always complain,
But I love it when my space has been invaded,
I know I'm grumpy,
But I love every memory that we've already created,
I know I'm not tired,
But sleeping with her makes me feel sedated,
I know things are worth the wait,
But it's not until now that I understand why we waited...
