Modern AU btw

I've waited a hundred years, but I'd wait a million more for you,

Merlin, even after all this time, still waits for Arthur to emerge from the lake.

What he doesn't know, is that Arthur has perfect clarity of what happens outside the lake.

Nothing prepared me for, what the privilege of being yours could do,

And Arthur regrets every single day he didn't appreciate all those dedicated days that Merlin spent with him.

If I had only felt the warmth within your touch,
If I had only seen how you smile when you blush,

Merlin knows what he's living for.

Well I would've known, what I was living for all along,
What I was living for

Merlin is what keeps Arthur going strong in the days he wants to just fade into the lake, like many others before him.

Your love is my turning page,
Only the sweetest words remain,

Arthur is what haunts Merlins dreams.

Every kiss is a cursive line,
Every touch is a redefining phrase,

Arthur wishes he could've done anything to help Merlin in his struggles in Camelot. Because now, he can see the toll it's taken on his fragile heart.

I surrender who I've been, for who you are,
For nothing makes me stronger than, your fragile heart,
If I had only felt how it feels to be yours,
Well I would've known,
What I've been living for all along,
What I've been living for.

And on the day Merlin stops waiting, he says a tender farewell to his beloved, the one who never knew about his love. He spends the day reminiscing, hoping Arthur could somehow hear him, but doubting it. And still leaving a trace of hope for Arthur's return.

Though we're tethered to the story we must tell,
When I saw you, well I knew we'd tell it well
With a whisper we will tame the vicious seas,
Like a feather bringing kingdoms to their knees.

:( that was  unintentionally sad. Whoops.

Love,
