Long Enough!

I've been waiting and been hoping
For all of these many years
And I got the phone call waited for
But, confirmed my worst of fears.

My Mom, (long gone) and others
Tried to prop me up, with hope
But, after all the hopeful waiting
I think that I heard, her say, “Nope!”

She said, “Someone said, we'd be together.
But, not, here, in this, lifetime.”
And, though, she may believe it
What if, this, is, my, last time?

Guess, I've never done it right
In anything, I have ever done
And now, guess I can forget about
The very, most, important, one.

Oh, sigh. You might need to go out instead of waiting.
Love the read.
