I have found that the real other half of me is you,
in such an unexpected way and place and time!
And more than just “other half” (you know it’s true),
you are the core solution of my un-met rhyme.
Not a “piece” of soul, but whole “peace”, that’s true.
You are the counterpoint to my once-empty song;
my need and my hope will forever be you,
and the answer to the prayers I’ve prayed so long.
You’ve brought back to life my old, old dream
of finding the perfect match to all my parts;
of youth, of search, of gain, of loss, of scheme;
you have ended loneliness, in BOTH of our hearts!
Yes, there will be WAITING, but how long has it taken
Ff both of us to realize the reasons we’ve held on!?
So, what does Time matter, since we’re no longer forsaken?
And the repairs to both our hearts have already begun!
Beloved, how MORE complete can any lives be than ours:?
How hard we have tried to be what we swore we’d be!
If the is any bequest we could make, if in our powers,
wouldn’t it be for EVERYONE to know love, like you and me?
Come, take this heart, hold these hands, all forever true,
and join me in harvesting the sweet fruit of Hope and Love.
There’s so little effort, since the rewards already wait for you!
The harvest fills your hands, ripe and fresh at every move!
There IS no-one else; love cannot lone its own pale non-reflection!
How can ANY defend non-love as a tie for a sentient, patient heart?
The struggle is ended—it was long—and what’s lost is Passion.
But, now, since FOUND there will never be reason for us to part!
If there was a “game” involved, it surely included my using a mask,
for it’s better to be misunderstood than to meet constant rejection;
or be wearied by eternal accusation, without reason to give or ask,
and my heart’s approach to your heart was my ultimate caution.
But now, no secret or fear or shame: you have a heart like mine.
We both are “fools” to Innocence & Hope & Love & Trust.
The world will never understand our vast, genuine passion; but, in time
they may find a meaning and definition in love like ours—Oh!, they MUST!
I’ll leave NOTHING unspoken, of heart, or body, or mind;
NOTHING unspoken, ‘though I may be able to speak it only once!
These deep, deep sources are not hidden from you anymore; I find
YOUR need is MY ache! But if too realistic, I won’t tempt or take a chance!
You, mon coeur, are NOT an outlet! I’ve no need to PLAY! I’m in love!!
I DO comprehend your subtle& your profound alterations to suit me!
But DO understand that you are changing MY life as well! And I move
to YOUR hints, your leads and needs; my life RINGS with your beauty and love!
I FULLY know the earnest hope you express in your fondest prayer:
Peace and real joy and deepest, truest love; I pray for you the same.
And when the time comes—IT WILL!—for us to ALL our desires share,
THEN it will be the final, beautiful culmination of our pensive dream.
You have not found your dream too late! You have not found your dream too late!
You have not found your dream too late! You have not found your dream too late!
You have not found your dream too late! You have not found your dream too late!
You have not found your dream too late! You have not found your dream too late!
beautiful...
