I never thought I'd get another chance
To look through your eyes while we slow dance.
To dream that we could be together
Was only a dream. A reality? Never.
But suddenly you said Hello,
How are ya doing, I miss you so.
You flew across the ocean blue
Bringing my hope so close to you.
So I told myself to forget romance,
To evade your eyes. There is no chance
To spark a battery so cold
And create a tale to be retold.
We walked barefoot in sand at dusk
Played with crabs, rebuilt our trust.
Celebrated good times and poems shared,
Remembered that we always cared.
But no, I never can be his
We'll never taste another kiss.
But why does he peer into my eyes,
Write me a card for a surprise?
And why do I get shaking knees
When we walk beneath beach trees?
Why do we stay up late at night
To watch tv in the twilight?
What are you thinking? I ask sincere
He brushes my cheek, my lips, my ear.
And then it happens, sweet and quick
He kisses me upon my lips.
And wow, he opens my eyes once more.
Was that just what I had in store?
Oh yes, I felt it all along
Although my head said it was wrong.
The course of true love never ran smooth
And yet, through time the love stayed true.
You came back with open arms and eyes
I welcomed you, to my surprise
You are my faith to believe in love;
You are the one from up above
Who tells me that I'm beautiful.
And now I have a life-long goal:
To give a million second-chances,
To kindle old or new romances;
To be honest, chaste, and true,
To love and always be loved by you.
