 Waiting for My Man

From September last year I did

Nothing else but wait for a man.

Woman friends said I'd flipped my lid

To continue in this time span.

But hey, my husband is my life.

I'm sure he will come back some day.

And so I'll wait like a good wife.

It's just a phase, him being gay.

I know he told me he was gone,

And that I should get a divorce.

But I will just keep waiting on

His return to me in due course.

Maybe, maybe not he'll appear.

I'll wait till September next year.
