My Plea

you said you would never fall for someone like me
that no matter how hard i try we will never be
you're too afraid to try and too cynical to give us a chance
you got all these criteria of how love should be
but love shouldn't labeled or be limited
it is far greater than the society's ill-conceived notions
or what's written on so-called love guru blogs or books
it is full of possibilities. of hope. of faith

what if i was the one you've been waiting for
the one missing piece of the puzzle you've been putting together
what if you're looking at all the wrong places
when the love you truly deserve
the one who stays and never leaves
the one who loves you for your beauty and your flaws
the one who breaks when she sees you cry
the one who will defy the world just to make you smile

i may not come wrap in bow with silver lining and flashy things
i may not be the knight in shining armor that you read about with fairly tale endings
but i will be there holding your hand when the curtain falls
i will be there wiping your tears when your world crumbles
i will be there when everything fades
i will be there when no one else remains
because without you, i cease to live
there is nothing in this world i wouldn't give
if i don't have you as my wife
i may still be alive but without a soul inside
