Waiting

I waited for you to smile at me
And to promise me you’d be there.
I waited for you to hold me and kiss me
To be everything I needed and let me be yours.
I waited for that special moment
Where I could lean over and whisper in your ear
“I love you…”

I waited for you to let go of your past
And let me show you our future together.
I waited for you to hold out your hand
And open your heart, and show me who you are.
I waited for that one second, where you’d turn to me
The answer written on your face, the truth that I needed
Hidden in your eyes…

I waited for you to acknowledge my pain
And help me through it like I did for you.
I waited for you to be who I thought you were
This person I had grown to love over the years.
I waited for you to love me, to give me my answer
I patiently stood aside and let you go, waiting.
And I waited forever.
