waiting...

[madothea]

i tried
i did
but a lot of things got in the way
i arrived
i did
but the gates have closed, it was too late

i hoped
i did
and fate gave a chance, just not today
i thanked
i did
and gathered all the patience to wait

i payed
i did
coz everything has a price, they say
i smiled
i did
coz the contrary was not innate

i tried
i arrived
i hoped
i thanked
i payed
i smiled
only left undone is the waiting
