For Decades

For decades

I

It’s been 3,650 days and counting
Since I knew—yes I knew
I’m carrying this feeling
For you, only
Y O U
Yes it’s true
I’ve changed a bit--by bit
for standards I wanna meet
though others doesn’t fit—I fit
even fears I tried to beat.

II

But yet,
striving
not fair enough
I wanna try another half
But let me take a little break
for more efforts I’ve  to make.
I
Am now 
E q u I p p e d 
With a tip but not to rip
a heart, Oh! the beating of the heart,
never rested from the start.
Always ready as I go
Feeling tired—hell no!

III

In prayers
I pray,
Blessings 
For you all the way
Unrequited love they say,
Only a martyr can stay
Kinda tough, though
In my eyes,
it won’t
show




IV

‘coz you’re 
my light—my guiding
l I g h t
A reason not to
relinquish a fight.
3,650 days and counting
A decade of hoping and waiting
I’ve done so much so far—give me a clap
Is it the time for me to stop?
And just accept what’s true
To stop this foolishness
And start anew.
