WANDERING HEARTS THAT NEVER MET

Our tender hearts did love seize

In the silent nights with ease

The die was cast

I found one at last

When I blink

She would wink

In her eyes was the light

The light that shines so bright

Bright light that tamed my brutish soul

Beneath this light, my haven, my sole

One thing would make it certain

To affirm her thoughts, her version

I asked her out on a date

To which she did not hesitate

In my head, I rehearsed

Word by word, line by line

And a short prayer to Saint Valentine

As I handed her a Clementine

And so we sat on the sandy beach

Rumbling in my head, the golden speech

At last, on ma knees, I poured it all out

She looked away, she seemed to doubt

She turned back and she shivered

I can’t! I can’t!! she whispered

My heartbeat echoed as I heard

Indeed, we both yearned

I yearned for her and no other

She yearned too but for another!
