Better Late Than Never

I've been waiting for you,
for so long.
Never thought one day,
I'd belong.
To someone who cared, 
for me.
Someone who'd always,
be there for me.

But,
Love comes to those who love,
and wait forever.
Don't give up hope, one day
you will be together.
When it comes to finding love...
better late than never.

So many years have passed, waiting,
for you to appear.
Almost given up hope,
being alone my greatest fear.

Then one day suddenly, you found me!
Showed me the love we both needed,
so desperately.
Now time stands still when we are together.
Don't give up, be patient.
because,
When it comes to finding love,
better late than never.

Hey Kevin, I just thought maybe you would like my poem a real man. That's what a woman is looking for. Just a thought. John
