Heartbeat

My heart will only have room for one true love.

And at this point in my life, I so badly want it to be you.

The thing with life though is that it has it’s own timing.

While I’d love for you to love me, you don’t right now.

Maybe in the future though. I hope.

But for now I just have to settle with what is.

Destiny will show up when it’s time, not a second sooner.

Not ideal considering my feelings, but there’s no other way.

A heartbeat; that’s what it took for me to want you in my life.

A heartbeat; that’s what it took for those eyes to win me over.

A heartbeat; that’s how fast I’d fall in love with you if I could.

A heartbeat; how fast you’d love me back if it were up to me.

A heartbeat; that’s what skips when you say my name.

A heartbeat; what needs to stop for me to not want you anymore.

I want you to be the one always next to me.

So if you had to go to the other side of the world, I’d go with you.

But you don’t and yet I feel so far away from you.

Because life isn’t playing by my rules right now.

Maybe in the future though. I hope.

So, all I can do is play the game with every ounce in my being.

Faith will carry me through until that perfect day comes to be.

Patience is tough considering my wait, but there’s no other way.
