Until We're Ready

You place God before love, a noble quest,

Rejection stings, but your reasons stand the test.

A woman like you, with such a gentle grace,

Is someone I can't help but long to embrace.


Call me naive, perhaps a touch unwise,

Clinging to hope in promises that never rise.

Our similarities, a spark that could ignite,

But friendship fades when silence fills the night.


Grief lingers, fueled by what might have been,

Words unspoken, trust that's wearing thin.

I yearn for a future we could build as one,

Yet doubt creeps in, the damage it has done.


Should success find me, and love remain unseen,

If I can be the man you dream of, serene,

May I then have another chance to prove,

My love, my loyalty, my endless, fierce pursuit?


A love ordained, a bond divinely spun,

From one of His creations, the chosen one.

But waiting for a time that may not appear,

Might leave us both with only fading cheer.
