Are you asking me to wait

Are you asking me to wait

Are you asking me to hold on to time
Pause and let it wait on us
Are you asking me to negotiate with father time
As if to say I think I may know better

Are you asking me to ask greys to be kept at bay
Reverse the dreams I dreamt
Are you asking me to ask let youth to be youth longer
Are you asking me to keep the fears at bay

Are you asking me to let the hope I have to boxed or bottled
Hoping that it ferments to something amazing
Are you asking me to build a home for us having with no promise spoken
Are you asking to me to swallow my excitement and hope I do not combust

Are you asking me to wait
I hear not now but feel never
I hear not right now but feel declined
I hear not at this moment and feel cast to the bin
I hear not at this very second and hear maybe in years to come
I hear you say wait and feel you are not certain
I hear you say wait and feel you are not clear if I am in you end game
I hear you say wait and feel you have clarity of your emotions

I hear you say wait and have to ask if you are asking to wait
I do not know if I can
