In my dreams as a boy I saw glimpses of your face, shrouded in mist I yearned to lift the veil and behold my future love But you‘d always linger just beyond my senses I could almost reach out and touch you But my fingers seemed to vanish into nothingness As the mirage of you slipped back into the realm of my mind Born a child of the heart, my love was destined to be true And were it in my power, I should have waited not so long The hourglass kept me company during my vigil As my imagination ventured where I could not To strange lands and faraway places, always with you by my side How thirsty was I to drink from the font that was to nourish my soul Oh! to have chanced upon you While the youth still flowed through my veins So many fantasies, so many visions, so close but so far Always a prayer on my lips for deliverance From this sentence of torment To know that you are but to be in darkness While your light shone from afar How cruel, how sad, how my heart ached to beat with your own And when I had all but forsaken the hope of this romance You walked into my eyes, and my world stopped in your wake Every desire of yore seemed to spring to life in you And every secret dream unfolded before me, like a rose in bloom The waiting had ended and the face that never was I now beheld in rapture Eyes that burned the very core of my being Oh! the fire that now dwells within And mesmerised I was with every word That leapt forth from that delicate mouth Music in my ears as we conversed, discovering our past and present Unwilling to believe that I was finally home, but how could I not Does one‘s own heart deceive When it hears the song of its nightingale? To be crowned with your queen on the day you were born Is a joy very rare And as we danced into the night Time all along the master, was now my prize While it had played out many times in my mind Our first kiss shook the very foundations of my being I was awash in a magical glow and lightning pulsated through me I wanted to cry out in exhilaration But I was numbed by the happiness that enveloped me You understand me as I know myself And I am complete in your love Our thoughts intertwined, fused together in silent comprehension The storms cross my path and I do not fear For my heart beats steadily with your own You are my beginning, you are my journey You bear witness to my life‘s purpose I am one with the universe and you are one with me And the fulfilment of a divine will I am forging ahead through this wonder and I know not our future But I am at peace and happiness fills my wellspring For in the time that you have loved me, I have known a true miracle And it has changed me, I am reborn never to be the same again I love you as I live each day and your dreams are mine to soar May the mystery that is this life, unravel as we walk the path A dream that you wish, will come true.
