About waiting for love too long.

I’d rather spend my last moments,
holding you in my arms,
but there are rivers, and mountains between us,
along with desert wastelands, and many acres of farms.
 
They would  be no problem to overcome,
all it would take would be a plane, train, or automobile.
The thing that truly separates us,
is you are not really sure how you feel.
 
I could wait for you for an eternity,
if I knew in the end, I’d have your heart,
but I feel like the longer we don’t see each other,
only splits us further and further apart.
 
Still I can’t help feeling like,
I can’t let anyone take your place.
For me to let anyone get that close,
would make me feel like a total disgrace.
 
So I sit and I pine for you,
not even sure if I’ll ever see you again.
I hold all my lonliness and pain in,
and try my best to pretend I’m just a friend.
 
I just have one request,
and I pray you will grant me this,
If I’m laying in my death bed before you decide,
before I take my last breathe, give me one last kiss.
