Sweet Burn Of A Lover's Wait

I never believed when you promised forever,

I was sure like everyone else you will waver.

You were so sure of our love and trust,

But it was just a relationship built on lust.

You and I never exchanged glances or smiles,

I cannot blame our distance on these miles.

You were too far away for me to ever reach,

But still, you captured me with your speech.

Then came days when I knew you were wrong,

Days filled with agony that dragged on and on.

I was slowly losing all my hope, all my faith,

I knew now that for no one I shall ever wait.

Each night that passed without your voice,

I knew, with a pain in my chest, your choice.

Tears kept flowing, with whimpers joining,

Each day, I checked for you in the morning.

Lost to my utter hopelessness and heartbreak,

I let the sorrow press me down under its weight.

I let myself become blind, didn’t even see the signs,

You were sending signals daily, from the sidelines.

Then one day a certain bird chirped and whistled,

Its happy tune tried to wake up my heart shriveled.

I refused to let myself ever walk this path again,

I knew I knew, I knew I couldn’t bear any more pain.

But my soul refused to give up, it had found its mate,

So I humored it and started again with breath abated.

There you were with your arms open and a huge smile,

My heart awoke again seeing you at the end of the aisle.

Finally, I ran to you and let myself melt in your embrace.

I nearly wept at how you cradled me, with such grace.

For once, I was happy to be proved wrong by someone,

Your gentle kisses and loving words left my mind stun.

I uttered those words and cried my heart out on your chest,

And then, you picked me up and we rode off into the sunset.
