I'Ll Wait For You

I’ll wait for you. I’ll wait until the day I know there is no chance. Until those words come out of your mouth, I’ll be holding on. Hoping, wishing, waiting. You are my true love, so I will never let you go. No man will ever have my heart like you do. I’ll wait for you until you look me in the eyes, and tell me that you’ve let go. It’s never gonna happen. I’ll wait for you until you say she’s the one. You’re marring her, not me. I will crumble to pieces, but I’ll still be there. Hoping, wishing, waiting. I’ll wait for you until I see her walk down the aisle and you say the words “I do”. My world will shatter. Never to be put back together. But if you’re happy, that will keep my shattered pieces in one pile. I’ll wait for you until my hair is gray, and my skin is creased with old age. Reminiscing on the days when you were in my arms. Hoping, wishing, waiting. I’ll wait for you until my body is no longer of this world. Only ash and dust. My soul searching for you in my next life. Hoping, wishing, waiting.

will you wait for me while I am pulling your panties down....will you wait for me while I am nailing her to the ground....will you wait for me causing more stress to you....will you wait for a man who just wont remain true....personally I want a woman who is stronger than a street wino's breath because she wont put up with the bs....
