Because

Because a relationship involves more than one

And seeing each other in person is more fun

Because I want to see your face when you smile

And maybe get to talk with you for a while

Because I want to hear your laugh and truly have seen

That it’s more than letters on a screen

Because I’m sick of wondering how busy you are

Or thinking about you even when I’m in my car

Because I’ve spent the last months wondering about you

And trying to figure out what I should or should not do

Because my patience is gone and I’m ready, I think

To dive right in and be brave,  I just hope I don’t sink

Because it’s God who has put you on my heart

He did this long ago, right from the start

Because I’m scared to think that I might be wrong

And waiting for an unhappy ending is a sad, sad song

Because I’m waiting and waiting and waiting some more

Just hoping that you’ll come knocking at my door

Because I built that bridge so long ago

And now I’m ready to run across it and not let you go
