Baby, What Took You So Long?
~by Tigress Luv

When I was young
and so naive
I prayed for you and me

But you never came
My love was in song
And...
....what I want to know now
Baby...
....what took you so long?

What took you so long,
were your looking for me?
Were you at every corner...
behind every tree?
Were you biding for us?
Were you busy preparing?
Were there obligations to carry?
What took you so long?

What took you so long,
were you looking for me?
Did you feel me in your sleep...
did you see me in your dreams?
Were you in my world?
Could it possibly be?
Did you never give up on finding me?
What took you so long?

The years, they were hard
without you by my side
I prayed for you and me

But you never came
My love was in song
And...
....what I want to know now
Baby...
....what took you so long?

AUTHOR'S NOTE: I have included this poem on BreakupPoems.com, not because it was a breakup poem (for it is not) but to show you that there is love after love. Two years before I wrote this I thought my life was over when I and my boyfriend of four years ended our relationship. But NOT TRUE! This man I wrote this poem about is so wonderful! My ex positively and absolutely PALES in comparison. Never give up hope, God has a special plan just for you!
