Waiting for Success and Finding Failure

Waiting for soon...
How could I succeed
when she took away
everything that I need;
her smile
her laughter
her lips
the tenderness
of her kiss.

Defining soon...
In the real world
I love you
means I love you
and soon means soon.

Finding Failure...
Honey I love you
but I absolutely hate
how you sealed my fate,
giving me no other choice,
only the opportunity to wait
and wait and wait.

Jerry I believe a man sees what he wants to see based on what he wants to believe and he will hold on or let go according to those beliefs...James
