From the day I knew you,
your heart was pure and kind ;
Your smile was sweet and innocent,
Your wit was well refined.
The sparkle in your eyes keen,
Your friendship was fast and real;
soft words were your virtue,
and humour your appeal.
We grew as friends together,
we loved and shared our dreams ;
Along the way crush or two,
Went unrevealed, it seems.
As years rolled on, our paths were split,
our roads went separate ways ;
We each pursued our interests,
That occupied our days.
We soon forget our youthful bliss,
of tender free care;
We didn't talk or keep in touch,
Throughout life's pain and tears.
Then my darkest hour came,
and tried me to my core ;
To save my heart from ruin,
I closed and locked the door.
Then out of every nowhere,
with precise directed cue;
An old familiar smile,
came slowly into view.
Although much time was gone,
And the die of fate long cast ;
It was as if we hadn't missed,
A second of the past.
You listened with attentive care,
and reassured my mind ;
That loving heart are still alive,
With purpose and design.
Deep inside I've locked way,
emotions yet untold;
As time goes on, and bonds grow strong,
They will all unfold.
So thank you dear, for taking time,
to demonstrate your love ;
It's yet another blessing that,
I'm undeserving of.
