It's hard to see where I might be right now
if I had begged off due to circumstance
and not been there that night. In fact, throughout
those years, I never gave myself a chance
at feeling love again, not in that way.
Imagine my surprise at finding you,
an island full of mystery, so fey
across the room. I remember moving
around so I could watch your dancing gaze.
It was your eyes that drew mine to your face,
alive and bright, and full of spark and fire.
And when the dying night had found the space
between us almost nothing, it required
that I surrender, give up my old walls,
the fortress of myself began to fall.
