Worth the Wait

I have come
thorough many nights
sleepless with thoughts
to a place of reconciliation
within myself
and I have contemplated
all the reasons why
I feel the way I do
and I think I do know
that you are worth the wait

Sometimes it all seems pointless
too much pain and not reward
the time seems to slip away
when I will be yours
and you will be mine
when we will be together
and I can be released
from the confusion I plough through
heading for the day
that was worth the wait
