    Wait (The Affair)

    I said I love you
    You said I love you too,
    But wait …
    You said you want me to be your wife;
    Be your life …
    But wait …
    We spoke of a future
    So together we could grow old;
    You said you wanted me
    And wanted to spend your life with me...
    At least that’s the story you told.
    I exposed you to my kids and did family
    Things; shared their birthdays, Christmas
    And took family pictures, I did everything for
    You as a wife would … only you weren’t mine
    To do all these things with, you were obligated to
    Someone else, it was never to me … let me go now,
    I need to be free.
    You know you weren’t with her when you and I met,
    We had our life planned out, had our life set.
    To be together over a year then she comes back into
    The picture, this hurts … and I asked you to go,
    To have you back and forth from my bed to hers, you said it isn’t so
    You say she is just there since you share a child … that is okay but why
    Not a divorce? Why haven’t you filed? You say she doesn’t love you
    And you don’t love her, if this is so, why are you still together and I am alone?
    Why do you stay there with her and I am in this empty home?
    Remember the nights I spent all alone?
    Whether it was sitting by the phone or
    Glaring out the window, all I did was wait.
    Six years is a long time to ask me to wait,
    Now you tell me again to be with you,
    To be with you and to be a part of your life
    I have to continue to wait on the decision
    Of your wife.

    The man I wrote about is the one for me. We have nine years off and on together. We have put the past behind us and now we can have our life together! Finally!! How are you?

    You about told it all, been there done that. Easy to believe what you want and then hear the words from another. I have several along this line, I'll check and see if " No photograph" is still up. Be well, k

    games that humans play, wrinch heart and twisted stomach, headache and chest pain, why do so many love and get hurt over the words of a munipulative being.........a heart should never be broke, nor emotions toiled with in any way

    So true. I can't speak just for women because I am one but any person that loves as I have does get hurt in the end. It's choices we make. It was a personal choice for me to try to wing it out and stay with him for as long as I did. He still says how much he loves me and even told me that we are soul mates! I told him that God gave us free will. Just because something feels right and feels good doesn't make it right. So I had to let go....hense my other poem! Thanks for leaving a comment! Take care... Tra

    In science one tries to tell people, in such a way as to be understood by everyone, something that no one ever knew before. But in poetry, it's the exact opposite.
