Together

He told me that it was easier

if we could have just met and stayed friends,

but we had to fall in love

and put us on this journey

threaded with nails on our hearts

for each day we spend apart.

People talks and says

if he is taking this long

he is not serious.

But they weren’t

the one who saw love in his eyes

when he looks at me.

They weren’t the one who saw

that despair was kept at bay

when we are together.

They weren’t the one who felt

safe in his embrace.

But then again they are not the ones

walking in these shoes of mine

so let them talk

while I patiently waits

for his hand to clasp mine

and finally we can walk this road together.
