1000 Days Before Poem by Daniel Richards

I wanna say, please come hear my words,
Without violence I’m kicking down the door
I’ll be alright and you, I promise even more
We’ll see it all, the worlds our matinee ball

I’m gonna hold you tight, let the memories unfurl.
Remember the night I forgot to call,
I wish to tell the story, but I can’t reveal it all
Although I did at one point fall

1000 days before we could’ve had at all,
Outside your window; whispers of love we preached.
But who knew as the night took its toll,
The end of a certain time was reached

You can never say you caught me lying,
I was working awful hard, on the streets and
In the bars, the same old places which held our laughs
I was running bare foot to you and came last

One final play, so here’s to me as I say
I’m gon change your mind, for the heart heals
Around broken love in time,

Here’s me the stage, before you no substitute
Slightly aged but still in love with you, listen,
Before I could give; I was taken from you

You’re a cold one now, and it hurts me so,
Just to know I hurt you back many moons ago
But we could be free, if we can rebuild our loves flow

You stand before me so there’s a chance, I reveal
Some truths and you fix a less defensive stance
Let’s walk and talk this out

We move around the city streets,
My terrible story leaves you lost for words to speak
But now you know I’m not lying, and still love you so

In one final moment you turned laid a lingering kiss upon my cheek,
Why did it happen, it’s too late, for you my love, I’m getting married next week
With shock I did not falter, for my love you for will not die, sorrow for the other but
My sweetheart I’ll see you at the alter

It’s never too late, never
I’ll always be yours as my heart is yours forever
