Two Years Poem by Tatianna Rei Moonshadow

Four years ago I first laid eyes on him
And his smile put the morning sun to shame
Three years ago we had our first of many kisses
Two years ago he watched me turn and walk away
For those two years I kept his memory alive
I missed him in every waking moment if not more
Over seven hundred days I hated myself for walking away from him
Until the day he showed up at my door
For a few moments I was speechless
He could still so easily take my breath away
The kisses he gave me spoke of forgiveness
His arms around my waist told me every word he couldn't find the courage to say
Four years ago it took me five minutes to want him
It took me ten minutes to enjoy his touch
It took a year for me to realize that I loved him
But it took Two Years without him to realize how much
So I'll embrace this second shot at love I've been offered
I'll give him my all though I'm Two Years too late
Because life doesn't usually give us second chances
Unless the first chance we missed is meant as a lesson from Fate
