Day of Reckoning

Day of Reckoning

I need to know that people like you

Are walking the earth,

I’ve watched everything you’ve done

Since childbirth;

I’ve watched you over the years

Grow more and more,

More beautiful with each passing year

Then you were the year before;

You’ve now become my Rosebud

And our time is drawing near,

Where I can lose all inhibitions

And overcome my fear;

My fear that you’ll reject me

‘Cause I love you oh so much,

I long to hold you

And feel your tender touch;

You’ve done so much for me

A debt I can never repay,

But I am willing to try

Until my dying day;

I’ve watched and I’ve waited

Year after year,

And Rosebud I am waiting patiently

As our day of reckoning comes oh so near;

You are such a kindred spirit

It’s so torturous to wait,

If anyone has had an unattainable love

I know they can relate;

They know the torture that I live

Each and every day,

With this unrequited love

It’s for you that I pray;

For me it will be over soon

As the angels watch from above,

When I can finally give my Rosebud

My undying love.
