I waited for you for many years

I yearned for you – a piece of me missing

It brought me to tears

I waited for you to awaken

Perhaps you were asleep

Perhaps you were taken

I waited for you in the coldest winter

I waited for you in the hottest fire designed for a sinner

I waited for you to complete my vision

I waited for you to save me

I waited for you intently as it was my mission

I waited for you so that I could surrender my soul

I waited for you to complete the greatest story ever told

I waited for you in the light even when I felt miserable

I waited for you to prove that my love unconditional was reciprocal

I waited for you to give me what I deserve

I waited for you when I was bereft

When there was nothing left in the reserve

I waited for you to give me validation

I waited for you to restore that sensation

I waited for you and even thought she was you

Only to be disappointed by an imposter – a cyclical déjà vu

I waited for you

I prayed she was the one

I waited for you, but your love was a fugitive on the run

I waited for you

I looked for a sign

To convince myself you were real

And not just simply a creation of my mind

I waited for you in the sun

I waited for you in the rain

I waited for you to crown me victor of this game

I waited for you when there was little of me that remained

I waited for you in despair and pain

I waited for you

And you never came

So I…

Had to change
