Take your time
My dear, take your time
One day, I will put this all in line
Someday, our souls will both entwine
But soon, when I know I can make you mine
You have me already
There is no need to worry
I won't fall for somebody
And give up on our story
I don't ask for reciprocation
I won't be controlling your own decisions
I'm here if you need some shoulder to lean on
'cause I know that we are both on our different missions
This will be hard, only if you think it would
I think this would be easy like a real love should
I have spent my life waiting but merely misunderstood
And I'd be fine if you fall for another dude
As long as he's a 'man' who can protect and provide
Respects your boundaries and choose you over pride
Controls his temptations and unnecessary drives
Takes you to a journey so you would not have a solo ride
He should treat you like a lady, he should treat you like a queen
Always tell you that you're the most beautiful woman he has ever seen
Build a heaven for you, Angel and live in a garden of evergreen
He should take you to places you have never been
I think I told you clearly that I am still growing
Still finding my purpose and I am still learning
I still write about you and what I am feeling
But I'm saving the words incase we're finally dating
Keep a positive mindset and always be on the vibe
Make it everyday so you can say you survived
I'd be doing my thing too, until I can provide
Cultivating masculinity until I can have a bride
