I Told Her

Such feelings were imprisoned deep inside
My heart behind the bars with lock and key,
Where they might have to ever be denied
Without a way to get them out of me.

Angelic visitation paved the way
I saw- though I may never get to hold her,
The chance was there for all my love to say,
And freedom came the moment that I told her.

It matters not what happens to me now,
It matters not whoever comes and goes.
I’ve met the one I love the most somehow.
I told her and can live because she knows.
