Patience: The Non-Virtue

Patience is a virtue.

Not often instilled in the young.

Or maybe that’s just me.

I can’t speak for you.

I can honestly say,

That I’ve been to hell and back a thousand times,

But I’ve never felt a pain so deep as the one I feel for you when you’re not with me.

Wishing you were here.

But you never are.

You’re always so far away.

In a different place.

It’s too bad really.

That your timing never came.

That you and I could never seem to be on the same plane.

If I believed in fate,

I’d say she didn’t plan for us to be together.

If I believed in destiny,

I’d say we were never destined to be.

If I believed in love,

I’d say you never really loved me.

But I don’t believe in those things.

Reality has taught me that they aren’t real.

So, I’ll just blame this one on patience.

Patience is a virtue,

They say.

A virtue not often instilled in the hearts and minds of the young.

I’m still patiently waiting for the right one to come along.

I do know one thing though.

He better hurry up and get here,

Cause my Patience is running quite thin…
