Love Poem: A Long Road

A Long Road

At long last, our roads crossed, what we have been awaiting
Now is the time, we find out the real truth behind this reality
This road has been rough, tested with many times of hating
Through it all, it has shown to only test our strong vitality

You could not talk to me for awhile, the pain was too great
I could not speak to you, hurt I felt when you were not mine
Bumps in our road left us with a path tainted, not so straight
For so long I waited for ways to open myself, for a clear sign

Now you are before me, as beautiful as I could ever dream
This is where we find out the worth of all our growing years
Your smile warms me inside, guiding eyes of a bright gleam
I can hold you now, and protect you from such dreadful fears

I want to give you what you want, to be happy and content
One step at a time, a pace that we need to have, for our sake
Close the book, or write another chapter, what will be meant
Our questions will be answered, whether we are real or fake

We came together long ago, and could never part far away
Now we are only inches apart, finally in each other’s sight
As best friends, or as something more, we will find our way
But never forget, in my heart, you will always be my starlight
