Love arrives again and in its train comes
ecstasies and memories of pleasures from
so long ago but this time around we are  
bold because our love will wash away the
chains of fear that our two souls did hold.

Her shadows in the night bring me much
delight even though she is far away right
now and I wonder will she ever come back
to me and that is the quiz and did I pass
or fail her inspection and I think I know
because she says she loves me so and that
she needs me more than I will ever know.

She comes back after being gone for so long
and her love is still strong and this I knew
all along because I could feel her from far
away saying that we will be together again
some day.

I've been waiting so long for you my love
and come to me you did like a beautiful song
that I have heard so many times before and
I felt you before you arrived and to keep
your love I do strive as our journey together
has begun and it is one that we both have
longed for, for a very long time in the sun.

Her love is so strong and her reasons for taking
so long are many but the past is gone and
together we will be for this long journey into
love as it unfolds for two formerly lost souls
who both had the same goals.

I knew there would come a day when she would
look at me and say that our love has arrived.
