Looking deeply inside my heart,
When emptiness gripped into my mind,
and the meaning of fulfillment was unknown,
and the purpose of my life remained
a question to be unanswered,
longing only for an acceptance
and the simple joy of sharing,
I tried to find the patience to wait for you forever,
though I didn't know your face or the color of your eyes.
And just when I thought I'd surely never find you,
in a single missing heartbeat, you appeared...
after the endless hours of searching,
and the endless days of waiting,
and the endless nights of longing
were transformed when first our eyes met
to the promise of forever.
