The Wait Is Worth It

How does one get someone to do something that the person wants to do, but is too scared to do it?

If I knew the answer to that question, life would be so much better right now.

I've been in love (the real love) with my friend for over 2 years now. We spend most of our free time together, hanging out, going to movies, bars, dinners, spending each others birthdays with only each other, etc. We text and talk on the phone daily about anything and everything. I have helped her financially and emotionally over the years and she has been there for me in my times of need.

And although we have this picture perfect relationship, it's still only a friendship. Neither one of us is in the dreaded "friend-zone" and we both have said how perfect each other is. The love is there on both sides, but she is scared.

Not scared of losing a great friend if the relationship didn't work out, because no matter what, I will still be her friend to the end. There's just something about a real lasting relationship that scares her.

During these 2+ years, she has had a couple boyfriends, but she only gets with them because she knows the relationship won't last/work. She's ass backwards. Instead of going for the one that she knows will work, she goes after the ones that she knows won't.

I support her no matter what she decides to do, because all I want for her is to be happy. So I continue to wait for her to either get over her fear, or tell me to fuck off.

A lot of these lyrics are from text messages I have sent to her.

The Wait Is Worth It

I knew it the moment I met you.
You were the one in my dreams.
I tried my best for your attention,
But it wasn't enough it seemed.

A great thring grew,
A friend through and through.
A friend I'll always be there for.

Every minute spent together,
Is a minute for the better,
While I quietly wait for more.




I know I found somebody special.
I know you're the only one that can make me feel the way I do.
I know you're the only one for me baby.
I'll never love anyone the way I love you.

I've been here since the beginning,
I'll be here till the last breath is gone.
I pray that one day we will be together.
Though some say I should move on.

The wait is worth it.



I know you're scared of failing.
Well baby, I'm scared too.
We've both been hurt many times before,
But it's a risk I want to take with you.

You've opened my heart,
Got rid of the dark.
Cast all my fears away.

You showed me a side
I held deep down inside
So baby please say:



I know I found somebody special.
I know you're the only one that can make me feel the way I do.
I know you're the only one for me baby.
I'll never love anyone the way I love you.

I've been here since the beginning,
I'll be here till the last breath is gone.
I prayed that one day I would have someone like you.
I'm sorry I made you wait so long.

The wait is worth it.
