Always, I Will

For years
I mocked
Our friendship
Thought nothing
Of the teasing
Glances
Here & there
But never much else

As Patience
Took its toll
On relentless feelings
Left undiscovered
A quiet night
Withdrew the clouds
Around my emotions
Now

Always, I will
Long for
The way I feel
In your arms
Always, I will
Remember
How long it took
For us to start
Always, I will
Adore you

I pleaded
With God
To make
Our hearts one
I'm weak
Not hearing your voice

Told myself
I'll never love
I was right
What I feel
Is too deep
To describe in words

Always, I will
Long for
The way I feel
In your arms
Always, I will
Remember
How long it took
For us to start
Always, I will
Adore you

I've found
What I've dreamed
As a little girl
Staring at the stars
Knowing one
Would guide me
To you
