Rather wait
I'd rather wait to know someone than judge them at first sight,
Which would be flawlessly wrong.
I'd rather wait to know someone for a lifetime,
Than put myself where it may possibly not belong
.
And for a lifetime,
I'd rather love our relationship whatever it maybe.
Whatever that defines us,
whoever we really are.
Whether unrequited or not,
That feeling I would so love and care.
After all we are just human,
Bound to make mistakes over and over.
Perfect or not it's just life,
So I'd rather keep on living than expect a closure.
