"Love is patient and kind; it is not jealous or conceited or proud; love is not ill-mannered or selfish or irritable; love does not keep a record of wrongs; love is not happy with evil, but is happy with the truth. Love never gives up; and its faith, hope and patience never fail." - 1Corinthians: 4-7

***
He's a boy and she's a girl
They're friends but not too close
She secretly likes him
for he is what she's looking for
and everything that she can't be

She's always there to support him
in all his endeavors, weaknesses and success
They're always together, night and day
and even though he isn't aware of what she feels
she doesn't care as long as she's with him

But then as time passes by,
it gets harder for her to keep her secret
it becomes a burden
especially when he's all she sees at day
and dreams at night
but still she keeps it all to herself
because she believes
that love need not be forced or hurried
it just comes in due time
and up until then,
she waits,
and will continue to wait,
even if it takes all of the time she has,
for love...
