Is She Worth the Wait?

Sometimes I ask myself:
「Is she worth the wait?」
My heart replies:
「Yes, she's worth the wait!」

Sometimes I ask myself:
「Is she worth the wait?」
My mind answers:
「She will only break your heart.」

My heart whispers:
「You love her, fight for her!」
But my mind counters:
「Forget her, she won't ever see you.」

And my heart tells me:
「She will love you, be patient.」
Yet my mind insists:
「Been there, done that, it was nothing but pain.」
