In this world of instant gratification
I cannot help but want you now
The ticking clock a constant foe
Changing speed, though I don't know how
Minutes race at the speed of light
When circumstance is on our side
Yet come to rest, and halt completely
While anticipating passions ride
Patience being the ultimate virtue
A virtue I know I cannot claim
For I want you and I want you now
And for this I feel no shame
