A Love that Waited

A man waited for a long time,

Dreaming of success, ready to climb.

He needed a job, a life so bright,

A chance to rise, to set things right.

But love knocked softly at his door,

A girl so gentle, he adored.

She was beautiful, kind, and free,

Yet he was different—could this be?

Deep in love, they both would stay,

Yet words between them slipped away.

They did not talk, yet hearts still knew,

Waiting for dreams to all come true.

He worked hard, both night and day,

Struggled to find a better way.

Books his world, his guiding light,

Yet burdens grew, he lost his might.

Through sleepless nights, he toiled away,

For love, for home, for brighter days.

At home, respect began to fade,

Responsibilities on him laid.

Still, he fought, still, he tried,

With love and dreams side by side.

She waited too, with silent fear,

Hoping success would bring them near.

But doubts remained, the path unclear—

Would love survive, or disappear?
