Love Is Patient

They say that love is patient

It's a beautiful idea, I guess.

Who would have thought there'd be someone

who would fall in love with all of my mess?

💜

You knocked. I said, "Please, go away.

"You'll be afraid of what you'll see.

I'm scarred. I'm angry. I'm losing my mind.

You wouldn't want someone like me."

💜

You deserve somebody better.

Someone who isn't burning from the inside....

Someone who has their shit together

and isn't wishing that they died.

💜

But they say that love is patient...

and you do love me, you say

I've always been worth waiting for.

You repeat it every single day.

💜

Because it's true. Love is patient.

My door was chained and locked.

I was hiding myself behind a wall.

You knew... and you still knocked.

💜

I told you to leave me alone.

You still asked if I would play.

I don't really wanna talk right now

but you refused to go away.

💜

Because love is patient... and it's kind.

It stays even when you're scared.

It does not envy. Does not boast

and comes even when you're unprepared.

💜

I'm glad you waited for me.

I'm glad you didn't run away.

I'm grateful that I have you,

and I hope you always stay.

💜
