I do, you don't

Since the day we first started dating,
We were at different stages Even though we were on the same date,
My heart fell the moment I saw you,
And your heart said:"Take it easy...wait".

I knew what I wanted and the feelings got stronger,
You just enjoyed time day to day,
This frusterated me hugely,
As of this type of thinking was getting in my way.

Dating, activities, and trips went by,
I felt like I was part of your life,
The only thing that was missing,
was the fact that I wasn't your wife!


I was ready to say I do,
Your thoughts were still saying I don't,
This is broke my heart in two,
Wondering why you won't.

I bit my tongue and figured I'd hold on, Heaven knew no one else would do,
So I may as well stick this one out,
And to my own heart be true.

I figured eventually you'd come around,
And if I'd stay put I'd win,
It Might take for ever to happen,
But when I did at least I'd have a grin!

You always said you were stubborn,
But honey you've met your match in me,
When I want something I go for it, and get it,
This time I'm winning No matter the time frame You'll see.

So if that sounds pushy or cocky I'm sorry,
I call it self assured,
Someday we'll both agree on I do's,
Because of how much your adored!

So knowing that I'll sit back and be happy,
For your the man of my dreams that is true,
And right now not much else can happen,
so I'll date and make you happy and do what I need to do!

You may not of said I do,
But you've committed in every other way,
So I'll go on with my goal and love you,
And be thankful for you day to day.
