The Final One

Getting to know you 

Was nerve wrecking yet new 

Truly one of kind 

Somehow you're always on my mind 

We accept the love we think we deserve

Never thought I would find this quote something of worth

I hope you're here to stay 

And I'll no longer go astray

She asked me

When will I allow myself to be loved and cared for 

Before I got to know you 

I had already blocked you  

Why are you always walking behind

Something so small yet impactful to rewind

Am taught to protect my family since young

I was never the little one

I guess that's why I am used to being the big spoon 

When all I wanted to be was the little spoon 

To have someone hold me and tell me they love me

Is it that hard to feel free

Then here you are 

The unexpected final one 

I wanted to take a break from it all

As it was tiring and seemed never-ending

If I open and give my heart to you 

Will you be my last love

Can this love last a lifetime

I really don't get what you see in me

To put that much effort in me

To face my friends and family 

Wow you must really love me

If not I don't know what else you can see 

Your kindness, effort and reassurance 

Loving me takes a whole lot of endurance 

Drama, complexity and depth

Somehow you've got me swept

I hope you can give me time my dear 

Am not used to people being sincere

People usually want something out of me

Slowly but surely 

I'll be yours if you'll have all of me 

I love you

Why does that sound scary 

I hope you won't leave me

With you, maybe finally I'll feel free
