You gazed upon my heart, my love, Did not see the lock, frozen by tears of pain. Instead, you saw the spark of life, Passion buried deep within. With gentle lips, you smoothed the troubled scars, Rekindling longing for a lover's embrace. My heart was long asleep, my love, Draped in dark of fear and doubt; It woke in wonder at your tender caress, Eager with hope and forgotten desire. I wake each morn with a smile and song Cradled in my heart for you, my love.
