Love Poem: Fourteen Years

Fourteen Years

They say you meet your soulmate by the time you're 21.
I thought that was the biggest lie ever told.

Love wasn't something I really believed in.
All it did was break me and hurt me.

Little did I know, you've been in front of me this whole time.
Little did I know, I met my soulmate 14 years ago.

We were kids when we met, dumb and naive.
But we're grown up now.

And I stand in front of you, my heart in my hands.
I know you loved me once, but feelings fade.

But it's you and it's me.
Maybe we were always endgame.

I never thought I'd fall in love with my best friend.
But you're the only one who's always been there for me.

You've always loved me, and I hope it's not too late to love you too.
I hope another girl didn't snatch your heart.

I hope we won't always be star-crossed lovers.
I hope we can defy all odds.

You have the power now.
Keep my heart or let it go.

But I know I will always love you.
