By Your Side
Here I Am,
Let Me See What You Got
Clenched Tightly In Your Hand
Is It A Secret
Is It A Present
Will I Like It
Don’t Be So Hesitant
I'll Ask Nicely
I'll Say Please
I Can Even Beg
Down On My Knees
I'll Give You Whatever You Want
Anything For You My Dear
I'll Follow You To Any Distance
Promise To Always Stay Near
Reward Me With The Prize
Or Just Give Me A Clue
I Could Even Guess
But They Say I Don’t Have To
Why Does Everyone See It
But You Make Me Wait
Does It Pay Off In Time
Hope I'm Not Too Late
Not A Hint
Maybe A Charade
What’s Hidden In Your Palm
Will You Not Say
I Try To Be Patient
But However Long, I Will Wait
With My Eye On The Prize
But When Come The Day
I'm Sure I'll Be Relieved
Because I'm So In Love With You
You Are Everything
I'll Ever Hold True
And Before I Know It
The Day Has Come
A Breeze Flows From My Chest
The Waiting Finally Done
You Smile At Me
And Hold Out Your Closed Fist
A Glimmer In Your Eye
You Slowly Turn Your Wrist
Your Fingers Unravel
And Reveals My Beating Heart
Viciously Ripped From My Breast Cavity
You Stole It From The Start
Justin Michael Milani
