Our Love

It all started out, when we were about ten;

yet neither one of us had any clue back then!

Throughout all those years, we became very close;

but as for "us being together" we didn't see any hope!

We could always count on one another as a friend;

knowing the connection that we had would  never end!

Constantly being there for each other through thick and thin;

never stopping to wonder, if "our time" could or would begin?

Always there to help pick up the pieces of a broken heart;

watching as old relationships end, and then the new ones start!

It was always, "the next one" we said we'd get right;

and once again, after time it became another never ending fight!

Drastically everything changed, and led us to be pulled apart;

left away from each other, mending our own broken hearts!

We had went without any communication for about a year;

the thought of being forgotten, was one of my biggest fears!

Finally after much thought, I had decided to try and reach out;

suddenly I realized what all those feelings were really all about!

Of course you tried to say that five years is too long of a time;

I told you I'd wait forever, if it meant I had a chance to have you as mine! 

Next it started with phone calls, that came day after day;

both of us having so many thoughts, yet not knowing what exactly to say!

Then days, weeks, and even months had gone right by;

with our feelings for each other, becoming our new found high!

Counting down the days until I got you back in my life again;

my heart raced rapidly, knowing you'd now be more than just a friend!

Wanting desperately to believe in every word you had said to me;

yet something was still keeping me from thinking that it was meant to be!

With only a few weeks left, until you finally get to come home;

it was then I realized just how much my love for you had grown!

Anxiously awaiting to finally be held by you, in your arms;

remembering all the joy you'd bring me, with just your words and charms!

That Monday will always be the day that my life changed for the better;

mind and heart now happy, that my best friend and I are now together!

Now more than ever, I truly don't care what anyone else has to say;

I will cherish you, care for you, and love you more with each and every day!

Patiently I'll wait and hope for the day you ask me to take your name;

until then, doing my best to make you happy and doing what we want with no shame!
