Kiss wasted

I spent my time longing for her
Trying to be hers and her to become mine
I waited and waited and waited as she
Dated everyone who was a complete ass to her
She never even considered me but I kept waiting
Weeks became months then months became years
I never dated anyone cause I was waiting for you
Waiting until you realized I wouldn't be like the rest
You got married twice but both left you for another
I begin to get old now and still I wait for you
My health begins failing and you come to see me often
You kept kissing my cheek but I never got to taste it
Now I'm gone after longing for that kiss but
I guess its like Billie Holiday said
“A kiss that is never tasted, is forever and ever wasted.”
Wasted just as i guess my waiting for you was wasted.
Since you never realized your perfect match was always there

and had been since we met way back when we were kids.

    Aw

    So very sweet but very very sad. It's a lovely story to be told however i wish it would have had a happy ending. Though in life there aren't always such a thing.

    Thank you for your entry and good luck in the contest.

    I almost like the switch from 'her' to 'you'. The only thing I would change is the spelling of 'Billy' to 'Billie'. SHe's a big artist so it's important to get her naem right.

    This is obviously a personal write.
