So late in life, yet not too late at all,
How could I know in to such love I’d fall?
The passion of a thousand cast off dreams
Alights on me as crescent moonlight beams.
Standing alone, yet in this light I glow
As what I feel inside me starts to grow
In promise to an all consuming fire
To which all dreams I’m having will aspire.
And you, the one who set the wish aflame
And gave to each and every dream a name...
To clear a path and bring this all your way-
The task that lies before me every day.
We reach until we know that what we feel
With all that lies between us is more real
Than anything that keeps our lives apart,
For you and I will share one beating heart.
Let not the distance occupy your eyes
But know the love that took us by surprise,
Look not upon the mountain we must climb,
But know that you will have this love in time.
