You meet her unsurprised
Look deep into her eyes
It’s this you might surmise
Her beauty mystifies

Announce you are her friend
And hope it will not end
Your heart it will not bend
Nor will it ever rend

But truth it might be hard
That you seem so on guard
It seems you once were marred
By someone much more scarred

Our past is such strong weight
On choices much too late
We want honest debate
But souls are bound by fate

We’ve journeyed far ’til now
And wondered ever how
Our lives might one day bow
To let us take our vow
