Wonder Why

Should have pursued past gentlemanly hold.

Could have avoided this news so cold.

I thought I was to wait

As God would have planned.

Yet now I’ve watched you slip away,

And I am left only in wonder to stand

And “in it deep,” I do declare.

Wonder encompasses the thoughts I share.

I suppose it’s easy to wonder why

This confusion has come to be.

“Maybe in the future” as was the answer of you and I;

“I just need to wait and see.”

I should have loved you when I had the chance,

But I missed the sight without a glance.

Damn my heart and its sleeve-held place.

I guess I don’t know what it means to “wait”.
