Now or never

Such a long way,
I’ve been traveled,
with nothing to regret,
but so much to desire …

Ancient places,
different faces,
and still searching for,
the biggest adventure of it all …

Being strong,
being brave,
standing the test of time,
but all worthless,
if you are not by my side,
being here,
being mine …

There can be no answer,
no answer at all,
it’s now or never,
no turning back,
for something that really matters …

So here I am,
speechless and a little shy,
with my heart in my hands,
willing to use this chance,
and not let passing it by …

… to say “I love you…!"
