Its too late to love me now

Its too late to love me now

A Poem by Tinyiko Senior
"

A guy proposed to a lady, she turned him down. Years later she realised the love she missed and came back to the guy but he is loving someone now and he doesn't want to lie and hurt her.

"

I was knocking because there was storm outside 

I was freezing I couldn't even feel my toes 

I was terrified and scared that's why I had the power to knock so many times

 

Inside me... I was hoping for the best

I had trust in how I felt about the inside, I knew it was warm in there

I had faith that you will let me in

Clearly you heard me knocking and begging 

You could tell of my desire to be inside 

But still your heart was deaf

Surely your soul was unconscious.  

 

I got hurt because my heart was filled with unconditional love

The love only when inside I could express. 

Outside was just too cold to love - it was impossible 

 

You refused to let me in

We just had a barricaded chat which always almost brought the storm inside me

You refused to let me in as if you were not lonely inside, I just wondered why? 

 

The storm is long gone now and so am I. 

Open the door not

Invite me in not 

Especially not now

It’s just not the right time at all

The right time faded with my pain in the rivers crafted by that storm. 

 

I suggest you go back inside

Close the door and maybe someone else will come and knock

Don't desperately and obsessively invite me in

Because if I do come in

I might be the storm

I might freeze your heart and it will never be warm again

It’s too late to love me now.
