True Love Waits
Oh, in time I loved you so much Henri,
from our very first kiss I was smitten;
but forever love was not meant to be,
when you read what my doctor had written.
You knew about all the tests going on,
you must have had a clue that things were wrong;
my seeing was bad and in time would be gone,
you said little and I knew- I must be strong.
A few days later you were packing bags,
a Montreal job just too good to let go;
silence and lack of comment were the flags,
I guessed that you would not stay for the show.
A handsome guy like you with a blind girl,
and with no desire in giving it a whirl.
Oh, my heart was broken and just shattered,
when you went out that door for the last time;
my emotions were scattered and tattered,
I wept a lot both daytime and nighttime.
But . . . . . I forgive you Henri, I just do,
I get it- not the life you had wanted;
so away like a frightened bird you flew-
at first I felt unloved and unwanted.
But inside me a great strength was growing,
I would- and could go on without Henri;
and treasure moments even though knowing,
my life in time will be a vast dark sea.
You called me weeping with guilt and regret,
I forgive- and in time I may forget.
