2 Long 2 Wait

As I sit here and contemplate
If forever is 2 long 2 wait
When you meet someone that is truly great
Is it destiny or is it fate
I close my eyes and I often wonder
Do I hear the lightning and see the thunder
Are all of my thoughts so entwined
That I may never be able 2 find
The most important thing that I seek
I will never know until I speak
So as this life passes by
I can't help but 2 sometimes cry
I ask God why
and promise 2 try
But I've tried my best
So now it's time 2 rest
As I lay my hands upon my chest
Waiting 2 feel your soft caress
I close my eyes and ask one more time
Is this the answer I've been trying 2 find
I truly believe this is my fate
And forever is never 2 long 2 wait
