Fools Galore

He waits and waits
And waits some more
For Her to look his way
To be His some day
To be His with her heart and soul
While She waits and waits
And waits some more
For that Other
Who was part of her past
Who won't be part of her future
Still shedding many a precious tear
For that coward who doesn't deserve Her
While that Other waits and waits
And waits some more
To forget those times
Those stories, those lies
Those empty promises
And those questioning eyes
And so they wait and wait
And wait some more
Each of them a fool
A fool bigger than the other
Who would have thought
It would turn out like this
But it is what it is
It is fools galore.
