“
It only costs $80 for a ticket
on a train that will lead me
to your arms; my home.
And it’s a chance
that I will not miss.
When I calculate
all of the lost moments
that you and I
were never able
to encounter, I tell myself
that those are moments
that will never forgive me.
I asked myself the other day
when I thought I was going to
be ready to surrender to love;
even if that meant
going the distance
just for one night with you.
We argued back and forth,
but ultimately I will be ready
when you say that you are too.
I don’t want to hold on any longer.
It’s been two years too long,
and when I am finally able to
feel your skin against mine,
that is when I will know
that loving you was worth the wait.
