How long do I have to wait?   Before I can tell you the things I've been wanting to say   How long must I hesitate?      I know it makes sense but it's hard for me to stay away   But if this is how it has to be   Maybe it's just a feeling   That I could name   But I'd probably best blame...impatience      You can't miss - what you've never known   It's quite absurd how you started disturbing me so   Sometimes - when I am all alone   I lose my senses   I have no defences to go      But if this is how I lose my heart   Then I shall just embrace that   My pulse is racing still   I'm secretly thrilled   By the laughter that tumbled   And the tears that I spilled   As far as I know no one ever got killed   By impatience      Tell me - is there danger still?   I took no heed so a word might as well be deed   Although - I'd really like to see you now   I'm almost certain it can't be accomplished with speed      So, if this is how I'll bide my time   Then I will set it down   Til we lose our caution   I'll honour your order   'Cos it's such sweet torture   To carry this torch   In the light of temptation   Beyond conversation and all expectation   Pausing a moment or two just to mention...   Impatience
