For years, I've waited
For a chance to come
To hold your hand
And to call you mine
Every year I felt
Like I took another knife to my chest
But I never said anything
Because I secretly wished
That good things came
To those who waited
You see,
I always had this dark thought
That people who rushed making decisions
Would meet their doom
Just as fast as they took their chance
But more years came
And more knives I took
One year,
I saw my chance
You held it
Like it was yours
And I was very ecstatic
That no one but you held it
You grasped onto my chance
Like it was your life
Like it was the most precious thing in the world
Then, I decided not to take my precious chance
Away from you
I decided to wait for you
To offer it to me
Because that would've felt better
I decided to wait for you
To finally hold my hand
And call me yours
I decided to wait
I subliminally agreed to myself, again
That good things came to those who waited
You continued on with your life
But you still kept my chance
I wanted you to give me my chance back
But you never did...
I watched my chance come and go
I watched you give my chance away
To someone else..
I watched as you crushed my heart
And I didn't say a word
Nor did I ever tell you
That I was hurt
I just watched you take a chance
but not on me..
And all I did
was wait..
...and watch
