I won't wait

Karolina Marszałkowska 1993 (Gdańsk)

You were always saying : later
And just like this I always waited
Even though my desire rose
And eruption was so close

You were always saying : wait
I was patient for this date
Even though I shivered whole
And couldn't stand it any more

Always saying: it's not yet
You don't know what I have felt
But I waited even longer
While the feeling grew much stronger

Now I cannot really wait
I'm now ruling, not my fate
Taking without always giving
Now I feel I'm truly living
