A single flicker
Of hope
Fluttering it's way in
My soul
Allowing it's entry
I realize
Just maybe
This time my heart won't cry
How has this man
Entered as of late
Without a key
Without a gate
Wasn't part of my plan
Had given up
Now what do I do
To prevent fucking it up
Almost an omen it seems
Always picking the ones
That don't
Have dreams
But he does
He's real
Right here in front of me
Can you see my heart peel?
Like petals
From a rose
Cascading gently to the ground
Tell me what this is that I have found
I can feel it
See it
Touch it
Smell it
I know this feeling
I've been here before
Doesn't happen very often
Love is once again knocking at my door
I couldn't ask for anything more
