Where were you?

Were you there?

I could not wait for you to come home
After years of you being gone
I knew you would come for me
And it had been so long
Time waits for no man or woman
When love comes to call
It was you I wanted in my arms
It was you I wanted to give all
You came to me on another woman’s arm
Your newlywed wife you said
I couldn’t believe what I had heard
My heart was broken instead
Now you say you still love me
Sometimes I wish it could be true
But life has taught me well
Where were you when I needed you?
