"I WAITED AND I WAITED"
by Joanne Boyle

I wondered where I was,

and where it was you were.

I was in familiar surroundings,

from a time when you were there.

I looked for you My sweetheart.

I wanted to say goodbye.

I looked both high and low,

but there was only I.

Were you hiding within yourself?

Locked inside your grief?

Come say goodbye my love,

come hurry, make it brief.

I waited and I waited,

for you to let me go.

To kiss me one last time,

but you didn't show.

All those years of happy moments,

drowning in your tears.

Let me go my sweetheart,

don't trap me with your fears.

I turned to walk away,

and I saw you standing there,

hiding in my shadows

like you always were.

Watching me in the sunlight,

you liked to see me shine.

You came to say goodbye my love,

now I know you will be fine.
