Ten years

Although we are many miles apart
it does not stop my yearning heart
from missing you with every beat,
Oh how I long for a secret retreat
somewhere we can relax and hide away
and watch the sunrise on a new day.

Ten years passed in the blink of an eye
and I often find myself asking why
it was you who came into my life
amidst all the chaos and the strife
Friends is what we were s'posed to be
but now it's clear for all to see.

I held back and then cut you out
Self preservation, but I had no doubt
about the way I really felt inside
I guess I'm just tired of trying to hide
the love that I feel holds strong and true
A connection so deep only felt with you.

Ten years passed in the blink of an eye
I no longer question the how or why
You came into my life that way
helped make me the woman I am today
You love without judgment and so freely
that I can see my future for the first time clearly.

My confidante, My lover, My best friend
I dont doubt we'll be together in the end
obstacles we both have to overcome
before we can be together as one
as certain as the ebb and flow of the tide
I long for the day we no longer have to hide.

Ten years passed in the blink of an eye
from friends to lovers we cannot deny
there are things we would both amend
so no one at all gets hurt in the end
We belong together we know it's true
I cant wait to spend the next ten with you.
