You were terrified of the loneliness
That you thought you'd have to face.
You were petrified by the thought
Of never having that special someone
To share your life with,
Even for a little while.
You never saw her coming,
That angel glowing with beauty.
You couldn't imagine meeting her
In that speck of land in the middle of the sea.
You saw that the glow came not only from the surface,
But from her depths,
Making her that much more radiant.
You couldn't even imagine
The bridge, the stream and the full moon
Shining bright over your heads
As her lips met yours..
As your hands ran through her silken hair.
As her arms held you tight
And your arms held her tighter still.
You realize that what people say is true...
That the best things in life take time to happen.
