Decade And Counting

A Poem by Krista Weiss

This is song I wrote a while ago about how I've liked the same guy for a decade and never really stopped. The hidden message is: I've been holding it inside for ten years <3 I hope you all like it! :)

Decade And Counting

It's been so long,

Since I ever even thought,

About telling you,

Every time you say my name,

I feel so broken inside,

Cuz I've been lying all this time,

I wanna tell you the truth,

And tell you that I love you

I've loved you for a decade and counting,

And I really just wanna tell you I love you,

I wanna finally admit it to you,

Wanna finally tell you the truth,

And now matter what you think,

No matter what you feel,

And no matter what I don't say to you,

I'll still love you for a decade and counting

Well now's my chance,

To make everything,

Come out right,

Cuz you and her,

Aren't working out,

And if I don't speak up,

You could turn right around,

And be outta my sight once again

I've loved you for a decade and counting,

And I really just wanna tell you I love you,

I wanna finally admit it to you,

Wanna finally tell you the truth,

And no matter what you think,

No matter what you feel,

And no matter what I don't say to you,

I'll still love you for a decade and counting

I've spent ten years hoping,

And ten years praying,

That I'd get the courage,

To finally tell you how I feel,

Baby I can't turn back now,

Or else I'll keep following you once again

I've loved you for a decade and counting,

And I really just wanna tell you I love you,

I wanna finally admit it to you,

Wanna finally tell you the truth,

And no matter what you think,

No matter what you feel,

And no matter what I don't say to you,

I'll still love you for a decade and counting

I've loved you for ten years now,

And baby I won't stop now <3

Author's Note

Heyy so I wrote this song a while ago and its pretty much about just like me liking the exact same person for ten years. I've liked him since I was three years old in preschool and when I wrote this I was in 8th grade and was thirteen. Right now I'm still thirteen soon to be fourteen and now that it's summer, next year I'm going to be a freshman. So when I wrote this I've liked him for a decade and I knew it was never going to stop so I put a decade and counting. And throughout that decade probably a million times people have asked me if I liked him and I've always denied it, for fear that he would hate me even more... o and ya kinda forgot to mention he's hated me because I liked him in preschool soo ya if I told him I liked him he would probably hate me even more. But then I suddenly was listening to Taylor Swift's song Speak Now and reading the prologue of the album and I suddenly realized, I can't miss my chance and I need to speak now before he completely gets away and that was basically my inspiration for the song :) Hope you liked it!!!! <3
