In a little town so far away
He lay and rest thinking about his day
His heart beating fast as he thought of her once more
His childhood friend
His childhood memory
Not that she had anything to do with him in any such way
But his fantasy was to always keep her safe and be by her side
Though he never knew if she felt the same as they were always just friends
His thoughts lingering on her in so many a way
They spoke once more after several years went by
This was the time he’d keep this time
A beautiful angel or goddess she was
He he had no words
But charmed and seduced by her beauty he was
He tried for so long to try to show her
But through the time she only pulled away
Till this one specific moment
That very day they spoke
Now he was happy about how things had gone that day they had reacquainted
However now he was the one who was scared
Now he’s gotten her where he is satisfied
However now it brings fear
He doesn’t want to mess things up
This was a important moment for him
Life changing
He didn’t want to loose it
She met him once again
They talked over tea
Him silent with awe
That this was really real
For twenty three years she
Was quiet and only a friend
And for thirty three years she has remained his friend
Leaving the door open now for him to full open up and enter
Together they began to hang out more often
What started out as a quiet shy relationship was now a blooming one
But he now wasn’t ready for the reactions he’d been getting
And he held himself back in question that this is really real
His heart skipped beats
As it became six years now that she has remained by his side
This was the day he’d waited for
The day she’d open up and let him protect her and be by her side
Now into the new journey
He asks her to marry him
Expecting it’ll be too much
That it will change everything again
He asked her
Her response
Yes!
Now he lay in bed mesmerized by that new day
Fear even more drawing near
But this is what he’d always want to hear
Love happened that very first time they met as friends
Now it wasn’t just a fantasy
This was really happening
Not some dream that he’s gonna wake from
He was ecstatic at the new journey he’s now on
True loves doesn’t always come easy
Sometimes you have to be pushed away and pull yourself out of love to wait and hope for better things
In time sometimes they work just right
Even when it may cause you fear
For you step out of your comfort zone and into cold waters of the unknown
For him this was worth the wait
Sometimes it is
May you’re journey be fulfilled
Just the same as his journey no matter how long it may take to get to where you want to be
The longer the stronger the relationship
