Our Time

by Dan Losee

I knew it was you
when I first laid eyes.
I wanted you so bad
but I thought you were way out of my league.

Throughout the year
we had hurtful confrontations.
We kept waiting and waiting
but it never did happen.

We each had our times
with somebody else.
Some were short
Some were long.

But either way
we never got our chance.

We grew apart over time
but still had our memories to fall back on.
Though we hid them deep inside
we both still knew they were there.

Now our chance has come.
Now our time is here.
Now we can be.

But only if you let us.
