Esteban Street

He is tall and has an amicable face,
With a smile that leaves you almost breathless.
Calls every night before he heads to slumber,
Whispering words that makes your heart race.

Surprisingly, he's more than a face.
He is smart and good-humored, too.
It is no wonder that after almost a year of pursuit,
The heart gave in and was captivated.

He can be the sweetest man alive,
But when angered, he becomes something else.
Deciphering him was a chore, initially.
But soon you realize, he is like the rest of us - human with flaws.

He needs to be loved like everyone else,
Wants to be known and accepted for who he really is.
People have certain perception of him;
He is not all fun, he can be serious and rough.

Yearning to become a better man,
He would often say, she loves her best.
While in the verge of losing her grip,
She has given him her honest and best self.

The same man, this heart longs,
Captured by the endless feeling of love, hate and lov again.
Both souls persevere and give so many chances away,
Staying committed despite certain drama.

Still a work in progress;
Tackling one step at a time.
With their hands clasped together,
While basking under the promise of faith, hope and love.
