A Worthy Wait

She said  she would  wait for the  door to be opened by the right person

She refused to let others in,  as allowing them would have been like burglary

Her intent was to present herself intact, to lose her innocence to the right person

To someone who would hold and protect her heart, loving, caring for her with a concrete promise for an everlasting love and to cherish her gift of waiting

She never wanted it to be like losing something but finding something

Where she lose it, there her heart should be and remain forever

We all thought she was crazy

We said she was a fool for being so strong

We said it’s only a myth and a fallacy indeed

It’s just a first experience after all, like every other, we said

We reminded her that her ripening body would wither untasted in the vine

She said she could cross to our side and be like us

But we can’t be like her as we’ve only got one to loose, which we’ve lost

It’s like a bubble, one prick and it’s gone and can never be put back again

The moment she saw him

She knew why she’s waited

 A lover and a friend she  found in him

They  waited for the vows

 their innocence intact

They lost it to each other after the vows

A concrete promise and a tangible term of eternity

They say passion fades but theirs is a miracle

It’s several years now, and it’s as strong and ever-changing

As the first night they came together

She’s glad she waited and gave it to him

As it makes her feel prized and worthy

It was a worthy wait after all!
