For my angel...

So many times I have said “I love you”,
How I wish you would return it too.
Even though you have yet done that,
Let nature take its own course.
Little by little each day,
You will learn to love me more.

Lest you make the wrong decision,
Often you think,
Verifying the reasons why you should be mine.
Each time we meet,
Smiles and laughter we share.

No doubt I want your answer prompt,
Angst is something perpetually felt.
Slowly we’ll take things,
Heaven will reward my patience with your love.
