I’m Gonna Take My Time

To get over you 

Will take weeks 

Months 

Maybe years, even 

& that’s okay 

I must let it sit and marinate 

I will apologize to you every day 

(In my mind at least) 

I will apologize to you every day

I’m at my apology feast 

It’s just the least 

I could do 

I made a fool of…

& another thing 

If I meant so much

how’d you let go so easily? 

How’d you let go of everything? 

You didn’t

I know it

My patience is my best friend 

My luck always shows it 

-

You will come back 

You will return 

You will come back 

Your attention, I’ve earned 

I’ll put cinnamon on your neck 

With the cut of a nail 

I’ll put patchouli in your bloodstream 

Bet you like my kisses there 

I’ll wrap you in pink

with a rose quartz round your neck 

Rose petals at your feet…

I think your shoes should be red 

Just a dash of lavender 

(For some peace this thyme)

I’ll dip your hair in honey 

You have sweetness on your mind 

I’ll put sugar on your tongue 

from my lips themselves 

I’ll dress a candle in extra virgin olive oil 

I’ll grab it from the shelf 

I’ll roll my candle in parsley 

Love and all that will follow 

You could never leave me, sorry 

I won’t experience that sorrow 

I’ll wait for you, my hero

I know it won’t be long 

You’re the one that I’m meant for 

I wrote about it in this song
