Theres that one "L" word,
I�ve heard it called by name time and time again.
The only one word that can cause joy,
And sorrow by the sound of it.
Nobody ever falls instantly into this...
There is a grand, beautiful staircase that is waiting to be climbed.
Each step, representing a powerful commitment,
More or less, a leap of faith.
I have been waiting here,
At the bottom of these stairs for quite some time now,
Awaiting the boy
Who will have the courage to whist me up
A stranger I have stumbled upon,
We're getting to know each other more and more each day.
This is the one, the one who I will endure this climb for.
The one who is worth it.
I began walking, taking my time,
Not wanting to rush.
But then, I wanted to see what marvelous prize awaited me at the top,
So I started jogging.
Before I could stop myself, I was sprinting to the top
Out of breath, I kept pushing myself,
Wanting more than anything to
See what it feels like.
I see the end in view,
8 steps,
3 steps,
1 step...
The boy who I climbed those stairs for,
Waiting for me at the top.
Out of breath, with no words coming to mind,
We embrace.
The warmest of hugs I have ever felt
