He dropped her off at the bus stop one morning
She
waited for him to come homeShe was nine
He never did
Disappointment set in
She grew up and married at 27
Thought She'd finally be seen, valued, cherished as a wife
But he never did
Disappointment set in
She sat down at 41
And wrote a letter
To the love of her life
After her husband left
She hoped he'd respond
But he never did
Disappointment set in
She met a guy at 44
And he promised her
Everything
But he never did
Like much about her
Disappointment set in
After years and years of disappointments
She made a resolution
To be there for herself
To show up every day
And declare
"I am here for you!"
When the men in her past
Never did
