I'm so tired of vain hoping
for a word that never comes
I feel miserable from moping
while you sit upon your thumbs
if you want me now then say so
and don't wait another time
I really have a need to know
but now the turn on your dime
this not knowing hurts me deeply
though you have never said a word
my love it never did come cheaply
and I don't care what you have heard
what I have to give is precious
and I'd gladly wait for you
I don't want to scream and cuss
but my feelings seem taboo
if you think you have to wait
to find out if my love's for real
then let me please reiterate
what I never did conceal
it's been three long years I've longed
for your sweet and gentle touch
but I feel you have wronged
me by ignoring me too much
so I will give you one more chance
but you will have to make your move
before you miss out on this dance
cause I have nothing more to prove
it's up to you to dare to reach
for my heart and hand to take
but if you lack the gift of speech
then it will be your last mistake
because I cannot wait forever
for a love that's invisible
your silence is a knife to sever
between our hearts divisible
the thin hairline that kept me there
beyond all logic and all hope
if love you cannot still declare
you must accept this downward slope
