You arrived slowly and conquered your space

You arrived like this; slowly and conquered its space, its corner, its home, my heart. Go away no. Stay here as long as you want, as long as you can, but don’t go.

Never. I even know we don’t have much time for me to be able to tell you these things, but it doesn’t take so many years for me to be sure you’re the right person. It’s in the face, in the eyes and in the heart that you came to stay, and if it’s up to me, you won’t leave anytime soon.

No wonder I dismissed everyone else. It wasn’t in vain that he held me, took care of me, held me to myself, because I knew that everything had its right time and that it didn’t cost me anything to wait, after all, whoever is in a hurry, always ends up getting hurt.

And this time, oddly enough, I did well. Very good. I knew that God had something special in store for me locked in a trunk with seven locks and that HE would only open and introduce me when it was my exact time. And I see my right moment arrived when I met you that day; beautiful, beautiful, simple and charming, just the way I asked HIM.
