The One!

The one who taught me to live

The one who made me see the best in everything

The one who gave me so much to cherish

The one who pushed me to brave the odds

The one who is my strength…

Long gone are those days when time stood still for me
Life was never dull when I was with my chosen one coz

At the end of the day, I always had something to look forward

He was my world

The center of my being

He helped unveil the woman in me
He took me to worlds I didn't know exists

He gave me immense joy and pleasure…

Little did I know we would have to go our separate ways later
And when it came, time was the harshest thing I would come across

Conversations had reduced to hours of silence

I had so much to say, so much to express

But, my tongue just wouldn’t agree

I wanted to assure him things would never change

But words refused to spill out

I bid him bye hoping and praying the best for him

I promised to wait for him

I did and still, I do

Days and months have gone in between
Testing times it all had been!

They robbed me of my spirits

But he was there to hold me on

His invincible hands give me the warmth my body craves for

His words give me the dose of energy which helps me endure it all

We fight like hell for anything and everything

Sure I hate to lose

But when a born winner beats me, even defeats are sweeter

Sometimes you just have to let it be so

Nothing gives me more happiness than his happy face

He’s the greatest fighter I have ever known

The one who hides behind a mask to make those around him happy

He is a child at heart

Who fights like a man

His presence itself is divine,

Those words of assurance are the biggest comforts

The sense of being secure and loved is all one will ever need

My chosen one love for you will never fade

Months and years will go before us,

But for me, you will always be THE ONE!
