There was I, thinking I was complete

When into my life

a perfect stranger walked

and suddenly, I was surprised.



Surprised;

that I was not complete,

surprised;

that joy reached new heights,

surprised;

that depths in me were opened up,

surprised;

that romance could be so sensual and exhilarating



This stranger seemed to know

So much

Instinctively

How to respond with a smile

Or a laugh

When to listen carefully

Or to cry.



Surprised;

freedom and joy became possible,

Surprised;

freedom could be within reach

surprised;

romance could be free,

surprised;

sensuality could be shared.



Did this stranger know

what joy lay in store,

what passion would be enjoyed:

that freedom can be shared.
