how quickly our life can change as a page turns

*My life was empty and mundane* *Day after day I walked the* *Treadmill of loneliness* *My heart ached for someone* *To fill my life with purpose* . *In slumber a dream escapes* *To haunt me throughout the day* *As I sit at my desk my mind wanders* *To the make believe of my dreams* . *Someone speaks and I overhear* *Of a place I have never been free to enter* *My mind sketches a picture of a man* *A silhouette in black and white* . *A vision inspires me* *I can see my destiny* *As you enter the room* *With a smile meant for me only* . *With your arms open wide* *You take me into your universe* *Whispers of love circle in the air* *With every breath I take* . *Loneliness and unhappiness* *Fade away into an abyss* *As I look into your eyes* *A page turns* *A new beginning* *A new love…* *For now and forever* .

You could have called your poem "Anticipation." It is a sweet and hopeful story.

There's many a bite between smitten and forever.
But it will never happen if we cannot imagine it.
Nice poem that takes us to the drinking gourd where it all starts...

Love is an elusive quest, and your poem implies. For some it comes easy, but for this poem it is wistfully desired.
