When I said I love you.
You asked was I sure?
When I say my life is better because of you.
You said eventually I will tire of you, like everyone else.
When I kissed you,
You knew that I loved you,
When I said I did not want to go,
You said I need you to.
When I was with you,
there was no better feeling
than basking in the warmth
of our love and union
and it was something worth fighting for
and something we both deserve.
Sometimes I think you wanted me to touch you,
But you built a great wall around you.
Walls that people build up –
not to keep people out
to see who is brave enough to
climb them or knock them down.
However, the walls we build around us
not only keep sadness out
but also does not allow joy in.
What have your walls given you?
Has it locked out the one person
who loves you unconditionally.
You have “put the walls up
locked the windows and doors,”
With my fingers bloodied to the core
I can now see that I have clung, fought and struggled
because I believe the person who built those walls
was my prince and soulmate;
and was worth fighting for.
The fog clears;
the spell has been broken,
the white flag waived,
your walls have allowed you to win
as my bloodied, worn and battered heart
now retreats so I can salvage what is left
of my heart, soul, sanity and pride.
It is not a battle that I have given up on
I have merely tired and submitted to your will.
So if you were to ask me
why I keep on loving you
when it’s clear that you
won’t allow yourself to feel the same for me…
dilemma being is that as much as
I can’t force you to love me,
I can’t force myself to stop loving you.
I still believe one should never give up on something
or someone that they can’t go a full day
without thinking about.
And honestly if you are not too long,
I would wait here for you all my life.
