Why Didn't I Wait

Why Didn't I Wait

Why didn't I wait for the everlasting
A halo of formal permanence
The mark of his interest
The stain of my significance
Where's the evidence
Why didn't I wait

 

Why didn't I wait for his unspoken words
A concrete promise
Tangible terms of eternity
An "I Do" of indefinitely
Why didn't I wait

 

Vanished in one breath of tripod terms
Now the vows I must await
Though engagement may never exchange
Underway my regret
Take more and penetrate away
Why didn't I wait
