Where were you,

when I needed a friend,

comforted, helped to finally

get my heat to mend?

When I needed held, loved,

someone to hold my hand;

a smile, patience,

understanding, without a demand.



Where were you, when you,

figured out that you filled my heart;

did you look towards me and smile?

Did it give you a start?

When you figured out, that you,

were loved finally, by me,

did you wonder, when I looked,

what I did see?



Where were you, while I waited,

to smell your hair and kiss your lips,

to see your smile and stroke your cheek

with my fingertips.

While I waited patiently for,

what I hoped, was my due.

Where were you when you discovered,

that you, loved me, too?

Love this one too. You have a romantic heart. I like the way the last stanza ties it all together.

I was sitting in my living room, my heart bursting with disbelieving joy, as it finally sunk in that you loved me like I always hoped someone would. Totally, unselfishly, unabashedly. Your persistence paid off when finally I saw that I was in love with you too. Never will I forget that day.
