Never Give up
 
From the first day I met you
I knew that you were the one
The one I would keep forever in my life
where one day I would make you my wife

My life changed since I met you; I had no choice
I became infatuated with your beauty
I was hypnotized by your soft, spoken voice
Insane with the thought I had to make you mine
Unaware that it would take patience and a lot of time

It wasn't easy getting you to love me
we tried once and things didn't work out as I'd like
Months of loneliness; days of praying
I never gave up, I remained in the fight

'You're wasting your time' my friends and others would say
then there were other girls hinting their affection towards me
but my eyes blinded me; my emotions controlled my actions
Since your face was permanently painted in my memories

I tried erasing each thought of you
but it only got me angry that I didn't have you
Nine months, close to one year, I fought for your love
In the end, I decided to remain complacent having you as a friend
I joined the military to bring my love for you to an end

It wasn't until then that you noticed you were losing me
that you gave yourself to me; heart, body, and soul
You were my first; I was only 17 years old

I can still smell the scent of your body and the candles you lit
those 4 hours we spent together and being married for 3 years
I could die today and honestly say
that the past 10 years were the best years of my life
because I spent them knowing and pleasing my wife

What more can a man ask for?
