I told you I loved you

You told me to wait

I told you I would care for you

You told me to wait

I told you I needed you

You told me to wait

I told you I would marry you

You told me to wait

So I waited

and waited

and waited some more

You didn’t love me

But you said you would

You didn’t care for me

But you said you would

You didn’t need me

But you said you would

You wouldn’t marry me

And you don’t know if you should

So I decide to wait

And wait some more

And wait some more

Finally,

I stop waiting

I find another

Who did not make me wait

Then you said you cared for me

Then you said you needed me

Then you said you loved me

Then you said you would marry me

So I said....

Wait
