she has waited until this very night
hidden in tears, and in the verses
I’ve given her, and the broken promises
She believes, even though I do not
She waits, even though I’ve given up on waiting
She is strong, though I am not
Everything else I have misused and wasted
because I cannot lie about this love
She calls for me, though I lack the courage
and asks me to say these words
to you:
I have waited my whole blessed life for you
I have never given myself to anyone else
You are my first and last love.
