I'm Yours...

I’ll wait my turn
I’ve waited before
I’ll wait some more

 
I’ll wait for you to think,

till you can’t think no more

I know you’ve doubts
fears and inhibitions that you can’t flout,
that like clouds exacerbate your pain

I know you do...

 
And I do long to seek what makes you
lose your sleep, so I could take it all away 

Give you love, and make you stay

I’ll loll in wait
Ah! Everyday I’ll take shelter till then
under you long tresses,

the never-ending mane

To let you see that I’m here to stay
I love you so; it gets hard to be away
But I’m willing to, 

there is no wait more worth I’ve had to make

I know I came and messed it up 

I couldn’t long any more in your wake
You, my muse, kept me wide awake
and swept me up from where I fell last
and picked me up and kept at the task

I know I ask a lot from you too
But liking me will be loving yourself too

 
I know I said ‘like’ and I know you're yet to feel that too

but the truth is... that I love you

 
I’m yours, 

and that position I know was never mine to take

But I’m here now

and there is nothing I will not stake,

to let you go will be

the biggest mistake I'll never make

To hold you up and still my doomed fate
there are no promises I would break...
 I’m willing to walk the line
If I know you’re mine

I know it sounds cheesy, it may read so too
some old limerick from a third grader, who
can’t seem to think through...

 
And a kid I’ve become as I know not anyone pure,

 who could say it without crossing his heart

that he is sure…

Course, they say love is an adult affair,

two sorted minds who could turn up in pairs,
and you fit the bill, I know you do

 
To think of anyone would kill me,

through and through

And I know you’re as right

as I can get in life

 
And come what may,

I’ll be here as much as I was yesterday

 
Your love has made me stronger this way
So keep smiling and let me hold you like you have...

 
It’s because you’re stronger,

you’ve the strength to guide
my love and fears in your direction

 
And there isn’t a better form or affection that I know

Thank you,

you’re much more to me

than you’ll ever know…

I’m yours

and I know I’ve got nothing to show (for it)

Except that I...

I’m here to stay,

and I will be here

even if you go away…
