120

Wait, just one minute

Yes, I know that it's been years

But the rush of your resolution

It is still ringing in my ears

I don't understand your timeline

Mine has never quite made sense

wait and wait, then all at once

But, is it too late now?

Please, just one more moment

I need a chance to breathe

All this time, I was just floating

In the murkiness of doubt

Now that I can see clearly

It's like I was living in a dream

And now your face has gone from phantom

to an actual real thing

I just need to marvel

at the contours of your face

at the possibility

that you could be mine,

ensure it's not just some mistake

Please, okay, okay, be patient 

I'm going to pick you

We all know

But, I just need a second

to remember how to let go
