An old feeling arose
I almost let it go
Not wanting to get close
Steeped in tales of woe

Something in those dark eyes
Calmed all my fears inside
Released my battle cries
Scar torn heart modified

Suddenly words appear
I replied without tears
He seemed truly sincere
With motives sure and clear

I found to my surprise
I answered with delight
Became so energized
Dreamed of love at midnight

Caught in the twilight's gleam
Of love's impending flight
Drops twirled into a stream
And danced into firelight

The light waved with no sound
As it seeped, softly down
Into my mind's playground
Formed into a vict'ry crown

Door closed on an old love
At last I was unbound
Became a turtle dove
Purring up and around

Wanting to mate for life
No more alone at night
Sharing kindness and strife
Infinite and finite

An old feeling arose
I almost let it go
Not wanting to get close
Steeped in tales of woe
