Each time thoughts
Of abandoning hope…
For what you knew
Existed…in the
Loneliness of a man’s
Heart…somewhere…
Waiting for you…
A spark of faith,
Pulled you through.

Time passing…collecting
In a pool of years,
In your eyes…
Took its toll,
As age…stole beauty
Of youth from reflection
Of mirror…

You failed to see,
The beauty that
Loneliness and heart
Searching…placed
In your soul.
It only took a single
Glance…for me…
To recognize your spirit.

I’ve shared time
In eternity with it
In the past…
Do not ask me when…
It was before
I had learned,
To stay in the moment.

Bring it now…
To me once again,
So we may start
Where we left off…
Back then…
Continuing our exploration
For the true meaning
Of love…without
Ego or motive.

Help me learn
To fall deeper
In love with me…
So I may fall
Even more deeply
In love…with you.
