For Years

You have always told me your plans

For years your words have grown bigger

I felt my heart beat for your poems

For my heart felt your heart beats

The beats that tune my passion

High by your sweet words that light my mind

Days grew legs walking to months and years

You told me the same words, ‘I love you’

But now my ears have grown moulds

Neither my mind can comprehend that lullaby

Time has come for you to show me

This is now your time to prove them wrong

I really tried to force my superior ego 

But your love has caused my heart to be bitter

My thoughts have created a devil incarnate 

Thou I wonder how I got hooked by your words

Many were taken by my exquisite gesture and smile

But I chose to you to make me fly with angels

Show me why I chose you from them all

For years I have been patient with you

Tell me it was worth waiting
