she said she waited in the dark
for someone to save her heart.
i reached out my hand to her,
but her heart was still full of doubt.

she just stared at me,
so i gave her time.
but i knew she could love me;
she was just afraid to waste her time.

day by day, i reached out my hand,
and as usual, she never took it.
she just stared at me,
waiting for me to give up on her.

but i'm stubborn,
i can't leave her there.
she doesn't deserve to feel alone;
i want her to know i'm always here.

then one day,
she smiled and took my hand.
her smile was as sweet as honey,
and she became the best thing i ever had.

i can't explain how happy i was
when she answered, "yes," to me.
she hugged me, and i felt her warmth—
"thank you for trusting me."
