Dr. Lang,
   Year after year I have waited for you.
I've hoped often that you would give me a clue.
But being the lady;  I know that in order to dance.
One must first wait for a gentleman to ask.
I can only imagine how difficult the task. 
But seeing through the years
I know what it's like being last
I doubted truly if you would ever ask.
   Now  I've found someone who loves me 
and was brave enough to say it.
Against your crude advances and idle shyness
I weighed against it. time and words
were evidence you. 
Because if you really loved me 
you never let anyone knew.
All your cards and precious gifts
never really mattered
So long as true meaning and intentions
were carefully scattered.
You hide from love, my love
which you have never known
A love I'd have given you freely
had you ever shown
Sincerly, 
Dr. Smith
