To the One I'M Trying To Love

Time is a fearful thing, it can give and take in a blink. My love for you came in an instant, but now it's lost in the distance. I remember when we first met, both were nervous, hands drenched in sweat. Lost in the moment, we embraced and since then I couldn't leave your space. We've stuck together through thick and thin, fought our battles with groans and grins. You were strong, and I was meek. You were broken, and I was weak. I fell for you, for God knows why. You were quiet, and super shy. It took you a while to open up and that is after...how many break ups? Nevertheless, I've loved you always. Three years have passed, and for longer I'll stay. Even though the path has always been rough but I promise you I'll remain tough. For my love is built upon baseless trust and yours started off as purely lust. I'll fight until you finally realize that I just want you to grow and be wise. But baby, my time is running short ever since the night I left the airport. Time has been more foe than friend and eventually, our relationship will end. Despite that I still believe that one day I will receive as much as I've given you these years because I remember fewer smiles than tears. So hold on tight, my darling, my baby boy to my last glimpse of hope before it's destroyed by that sad smirk, and glum glance of yours when we have our cold little wars. There's nothing left for me to say, for these are feelings I cannot convey. Even fate can't dictate our story if you feel losing me is worth the glory.
