You told me she's no one I should worry about.
You told me you weren't interested in her.
You told me you liked me but you weren't ready.
So I waited.
Even with all the telltale signs I waited.
Even with all your mind games I waited.
Even when everyone told me not to I waited.
Even when I know it's stupid I waited.
I cared, I supported, I encouraged.
I waited.
I should have backed off when I could but I waited.
Just to be proven how stupid I was.
That you liked her all along.
Yet I waited.
