The Longest Time


 

Through many nights

I cried myself to sleep

But through many days

It was your love that kept me going

I struggled through darkness

Endured intense pain

That brought us

To this moment in time

The moment we’ve been waiting for

For the longest time

I was numbed

Not knowing what to say

When you told me

You loved me too

Our dream came true

It made no difference

How far apart we are

Within our hearts we know

Our Love is true

Ahhh so true and yet love can also be so fleeting that if you have a chance ot seize it do so for it will quickly fade away into tomorrow if not gripped tightly and treasured.
