Please let it be me!

Been waiting years for the opportunity to apprise,

This may come to your as a surprise,

I have been secretly hoping somehow you will surmise,

Looking into your eyes I feel shy and want to disguise and revise,

I know this may be unwise but I am not keen to be wise,

I just want to be able to rise above the sweet smiling lies,

Which give you no hint of the hidden cries,

I have chickened out after numerous many past tries,

Today I must stop falling from those lofty dreamy skies,

I have time tested that I love you only,

Been dying for a day when I tell you to please let it be me,

Life filled with all the sweetness of the world without you will still be lonely,

I can no longer let that feeling be my friend so please let it be me,

I will make all the necessary sacrifices,

God helping me embrace you with all your vices,

Bring to our love many countless spices,

Tell me all the different prices,

Please let it be me,

If someone eternally holds your hand down the paths called life,

If you ever say yes to somebody who asks you to be his wife,

Please let it be me,

If you ever need somebody to help you bear the sadness,

Help you find and light the glow of gladness,

Please let it be me,

If you ever prayed for someone who can be equally wise and silly around you,

Someone who lives a life with company that richly abounds in you,

Please it be me,

Each time I see you,

Each time you hold my hand and make my heart feel you,

Each time you open your arms and bless someone in the circle of your magical embrace,

Each time you pray and tie someone’s purpose to yours with prayer like a lace,

Somebody to step with into every new tomorrow with,

Please let it be me,

I beg you tell me that you will always... always... always…

Let it be me.
