"To Wait or Not To Wait?" (Originally written 9/2/10)

A year is a long time,
Time spent getting older,
Maybe fatter,
Maybe skinnier,
Hopefully wiser,
A year is a long time.

A year is a long wait,
Time spent waiting for winter to end,
Maybe school to be over,
Maybe school to start,
Or waiting for love to come into the heart,
A year is a long time to wait.

A year,
So many weeks spent making lists,
And promises,
An trying,
To make lists reality,
To keep promises,
A year.

So much in a year,
A year could fill these pages,
A year can take what's broken,
Make it whole again,
So much in a year,
Yes,
But,
You're worth the wait,
So,
I'll wait.
