I can finally say
How much I love you
It has been many years
Since I have known you

You have rescued me from drowning
Drowning, in my sorrow
You have saved me
Saved me from a life of emptiness

I can think of the days
Where we fought
And I won by default
But I won your friendship

How I cherish that more than life
I could admire you
For your many talents
And your passion, your strength

I can tell you
I have always felt safe
With you nearby
Knowing you could protect me from dangers

You held my hand
My God, I could feel how warm and strong you were
Love, rushing through your veins
But you stayed silent

You smiled from afar
But I could tell how you wanted to be so close
Fighting in the distance
But still, you wrote me when the opportunity arrived

I love you
My God, how I loved you being my hero
You never had to fight for my love
It was always there

I know now I love you
And I am sorry
For how long I have waited
But know that
I love you
