The time had come

For years I have been waiting
Waiting for this day to come
I was elated – in seventh heaven
Couldn’t control my emotions
I was hysterical with joy

I queued for hours
Waited on my own in the rain
For my dream to come true
Then I was not alone
Finally, I could share my joy

Then the time came,
Time to see him
The man I had waited to see for years
The man whom I had become obsessed with
No words could express how I was feeling

Many people were there
Many felt the same as me
Waiting with anticipation
For their dream to come true
And then, in he walked

And when he appeared
The atmosphere changed
People screamed his name
And he just smiled and laughed

For me that was it
My dream had come true
I have seen the man of my dreams
For me that smile is enough
