Heart Ache To Dream Come True

I have found a love...
I kept her name deep down...
I quietly watched
As she moved from guy to guy...
Between each I ask...
"Please, just once chance."
It was always a no...
I waited a month
Two, three, four
A year.
I pray and pray
'Please God, I need someone...'
I get a text.
She tells me she needs a bf. 
I get a light of hope.
But the courage doesn't come.
As the night went on, I grew more 
     and more scared
'What if I didn't answer tonight? 
How longwould I have to wait then?'
I prayed and prayed
'Lord give me the courage... Please...'
Finally I gathered the courage and asked.
She said yes.
