presence ~* by a once upon a time princess

You are there
A masterpiece of God.
Handsome, clever and kind.
A prince on a pedestal.
So high... so far.

I am here,
Simple, unattractive, unremarkable.
Confused
And broken…
A damsel without a love.

Then you were there –
Surprising true.
Listening to my thoughts,
Being the ear I need.
There –
Taking away my frown.
Replacing it with a smile.
There, at my eyes reach -
Making me nervous,
With the feeling of your eyes on mine.
There, beside me –
Holding my hand,
Making my heart beat fast.

So there I was.
Unpredictably falling.
Silently in reverie.

We are now,
North and South
Attracted.
In love.
We are now,
Watching movies,
Listening to love songs,
Dreaming of the future.
Wishing of forever.

I am here
Grateful that you have picked me,
Even with all the girls in the queue.
Thankful of your love,
That space in your heart.
The piece you impart.

When I am with you,
You share your royal pedestal,
I become a princess.
In love with no one but you.

When I look at you,
I see my life…
I love my life.
I am alive.
You bring me life.

Yet I can’t help but feel,
You are there,
Sometimes so close, yet so numb.

Please listen to my heart.
My true voice…
Screaming out loud.
I know your promise is true.
I know you love me too.
But you should know,
Despite my sweet “yes,”
That I still need time.
I still need you.
I’ll always do.
I’ll always love you.
