Oh, I was asleep but my heart waked
To the gentle tapping on my door.
It was insistent and persistent
Yet still I attempted to ignore-
Not believing the call was for me,
And placing no credence on the sound
Until it was made quite obvious
By soft words intended to astound.
That they were to me was very clear.
There was no mistaking their intent
And that moment is so very dear
For they stated just what he had meant.
And for as long as his love remains
Directed to me- of all choices! -
I'll never leave him, never desert
This cherished man of honest voices.
He has awoken a dormant heart
Once wounded beyond hope of repair;
Only a tender and truthful love
Could have transported it from that lair.
