The day our paths crossed
I thought nothing of it
Shrugging off the excitment
That began fluttering ever so slightly
Could this be the start of something real and true?
The end of abandoment at long last?
Only time would tell
Suddenly all the hopelessness
Began to fade
Laughter once again tickled my soul
But why?
Where was it all coming from?
Lying in the darkness
I close my eyes listening to
The soft drone of the television
And the rythmic ticking of the clock
Your face comes into view
A smiles plays at the corners of my mouth
But I no longer wonder why
The answer is clear
You have become my happiness
A once lost and tattered beaten soul
Has been revived
This shattered heart
Is very slowly becoming whole
