The Wait

When you chose that park in the hood for a first date

She still stood by you.

When she went and bought that Vera Wang dress 
that wasn't even on sale

And you showed up in a t-shirt and jeans

She still stood by you.

When you told her your still deciding cuz your poor heart 
was broken

by the last bitch

She still stood beside you

When you finally took her somewhere nice

And dressed properly so she could see your smile, and your arms,

making her patience start to pay off

She got comfortable standing by you.

When you finally man'd up making her feel secure

and that there was a man somewhere behind those caps and baggy jeans

She was happy to stand by you.

When you finally made love to her

and you blew her mind, fingers, tongue and all

She was hesitant but you were finally let you in.

When the first lies reared their head

She respected your humanity and stood by you.

When you two had that nasty argument

And you went and fucked that other girl

She still stood by you.

When you made her feel guilty about it

she still stood by you, because you swore.

Now that you take her for granted regularly

she stands by you, still. 

But she doesn't stand by you

because she's an idiot...far from it.

She stands by you, knowing all you men are the same

and she has to just take the time to wait.

To wait for you to grow into the man your going to be,

The man that any of you men can be.

You all just start off the same way.

She stands by you because she knows this.  

So hurry up and come out of your cocoon

Put away the games and the bitches

So she can stand by you, forever.
