Patient heart

He saw her once, and his heart skipped a beat

Fell deeply in love, his soul to greet

But alas, she was taken, already spoken for

By another man, who held her heart in store

He waited patiently, through time and space

Hoping for a chance, a smile on her face

Though she was lost to him, he couldn't help but adore

The memory of her, forever in store

Fate played its hand, and time went by slow

The other man's love, began to let go

She searched for something real, something true

And found her way, back to him, anew

Now she's his, and he's hers, a love so divine

A second chance, a heart that's truly mine

He waited for her, through joy and strife

And now she's his, his partner for life
