Worth Waiting For

Everyone whispered their slander
I believed
Everyone whispered your temper
I believed
Everyone whispered be careful around you
I believed

Slowly, I felt your kindness
I couldn’t believe
Slowly, I felt your humility
I couldn’t believe
Slowly, I saw you
I couldn’t believe

Slowly drawn to you like a magnet
My heart saying I was wrong
Now here I sit, confused
Wishing I didn’t believe
Hoping you will open the door
You are worth waiting for

Darlene De Beaulieu Date: 3/18/2019 5:44:00 PM Hello Byron Kava, sometimes we do not know when we have the right one, until it is too late. have a nice evening my friend. Login to Reply Byron Kaya Date: 3/20/2019 12:55:00 AM Hi there Darlene. I learned that lesson the hard way. I almost married someone a long time ago. I was worried it wasn't for the right reason so I told her maybe it wasn't a good idea at the time. It is over 15 years ago now, but I regret that for a very long time.

Caren Krutsinger Date: 3/17/2019 8:08:00 PM Bryon, this went straight to my FAV list. It is amazing to me that the first one to get a story to a person is often the one believed, and for no better reason than that. I am vitally careful now.
