The Wait

I'm not sure who wrote it or when but as I read it I thought of all the women who wait for their loved ones to return.

The Wait
You said wait for me
I waited
You said we'd be free
I waited
You said war was ending
I waited
You said hearts were mending
I waited
You said we were forever
I waited
You said leave me never
I waited
You said not to yearn
I waited
You said you would return
I waited
You said not to worry
I waited
You said you would hurry
I waited
You said not to cry
I waited
You said you and I
I waited
You said it was forever
I waited
You said we'd be together
I waited
Soon I'll join you up above
So, please wait for me my love.
