Finally

A poem for my best friend who let me be who I truly am, and never left.

11/25/01

My love for you runs deep as a river-
everytime I delve into your eyes,
my soul begins to guiver
you are my life, my very heart-
I die a little everytime we part.
I tried to hide my undying love,
but because you knew,
Finally,
my heart flies free as a dove.
You are my confidant, my truest friend,
and I'll be yours til God declares an end.
You were the first to let me love you,
Finally,
to my heart I am true.
You were the first to let me be me,
no more hiding, no more shame, I am free-
Finally.
The greatest gift by you has been given,
a chance to love without condition.
I know in my heart,
more than friends we'll never be-
but your still being here is more than I ever dreamed-
Finally.
