“Patience”

your shining eyes in the dark
glow like mine
we’re both so alive for the very first time
I can hold you through the night
whereas I used to let go midway
the heat can’t separate us now
it only makes me want you more

take a dream and believe in it
if your heart stays strong, you’ll breathe in it
open the blinds and you can see me dancing
I’m in love with you, just like I’ve always been

a balance unequaled
crawling across parallel wires
makes me smile to think of the older you
walking by my side
lovesongs soften my face
my heart beats at a peaceful pace

take my chest and sleep in it
if my hearts stays strong, you’ll always be in it
open your heart and let your eyes see
that the future will always be waiting for you and me
