Patience

They say that patience is a virtue and I believe it to be true.
Because although it took a long time I finally got you.
So long had the idea flirted with me of the two of us together someday.
So many times I rejected it, pushed the very thought away.
Never did I allow myself to think of you having similar thoughts too.
That's why I never said anything about any of it directly to you.
For so long I have loved you dearly and deeply from close by.
Never having the courage to speak to you barely catch your eye.
Yet somehow we still became close in each other's minds.
And because of that we found a special friendship that's hard to find.
Still we took a while just to be sure it was really true.
And I found not only did I find love but was in love too.
Times got hard then and all contact between us was temporarily lost.
But always I held faith that you were my friend at all costs.
When you stepped back into my life I realized that my feelings were the same.
I knew I had your heart and focus yet to tame.
So again I loved you this time unafraid to let you know.
And slowly but surely your true feelings began to show.
You were definitely worth the wait for you have stolen my heart,
The secret is you've had it always from the very start.
That's just where patience set in and proved the saying true,
Paitience is a virtue and my long waited yet worthwhile reward is...you.
