I stood at a distance,
careful not to let my heart betray me.
But you
with nothing more than your presence
turned my reason into beautiful madness.
Long before we ever met,
destiny had paired every soul.
When I found your name,
I placed mine beside it,
as though it had always belonged there.
Your quiet grace
has left me untouched by sleep,
unmoved by hunger,
filled only with thoughts of you.
Do not refuse me.
Do not keep me at arm's length.
Open your heart
and let me become the love
you never have to let go.
