Will you never say you love me?
Shall I bide my time away?
That I'd never seek on hearing
The precious words you'd never say?
The time I found so fleeting
You found didst never end,
When you had lost your husband
And I? My father-friend.
When I would seek and search
Approval of my future dreams,
When you could never, ever, ever
Escape your past, or so it seemed.
When my accomplishments meant nothing
And my dreams were turned to dust
When you felt that crushing hope
And nulling joy was but a must.
And I always sought "I love you,"
To hear the words you'd never say...
You never seemed to care;
That I would bide my time away...
When I sought for just a smile
A gasp of wonder, spark of joy
And all you could imagine:
What was next to be my toy?...
And you never said "I love you."
The few small words you couldn't say.
So with knowledge, tech, and wonders,
I tried to bide my time away.
I would shield myself with metal
Cold and steely, that I'd see
The truth in my inventions...
From all the critics I'd be free.
Now I have seen my dreams come true...
Yet... I long for you to say
The words "You... love me?"
'Course, you don't.
And so,
I bide my time away.
