Rating: 5.0


On your knee


What took you so long to see the beauty of my face?
What took you so long to feel the sweetness of my smile?
What took you so long to touch the tenderness of my hand?
What took you so long to hear the calmness of my voice?
What took you so long to know the meaning of my appearance?

What took you so long to taste the bitterness of human lips?
What took you so long to feel the roughness upon their feet?
What took you so long to understand the confusion of their thoughts?
What took you so long to leave the old and rotten life?
What took you so long to know the sweetness of my embrace?

What took you so long to ask the feeling of my heart?
What took you so long to wonder wearing your doubtful soul?
What took you so long to be lost in this empty world?
What took you so long to face the fate and challenge the time?
What took you so long to comprehend the meaning of my presence?
