A man once so loved a woman
he dreamt of her night and day
Though many years apart
on his mind she would stay
All the women he had been with
his story was always the same
"I would leave you for her"
and then he'd tell them her name
Now this didn't bode well with them
of course the relationships were soon done
But it never troubled this man
for he knew she was the one
So he lived his days in silence
Always he would be alone
No one came knocking at his door
No one tried calling on a phone
Then just when he thought it over
when he thought with his dreams he could no longer cope
Fate smiled down on him
Destiny restored him his hope
At first he'd thought he'd lost his mind
or maybe he had succumbed to death
because suddenly there she was
and her beauty still took his breath
Looking into her eyes
he still got that familiar tingle
He could still feel her touch
as their souls would intermingle
Long had he waited
for this very day
He was powerless to persue her
He had so much to say
In a strange twist of events
for lack of better word
She too had been seeking him
The "calling" had been heard
Once again they were together
their talks both light and deep
She confesses a feeling of being awakened
when she hadn't realized she'd been asleep
He knew then with those words
that he wasn't so estranged
With her is where his heart belonged
that's why it never changed
It took one look into each others eyes
recognition came across their face
This was their time
This was their place
So never give up your dreams
Keep looking to the stars above
and one day they'll shine just for you
one day you'll know true love

She confesses a feeling of being awakened

Those are my favorite lines. This is wonderful. I've been wondering whether love was real to begin with, but this gives me hope.
This is wonderful.

Congrats my friend, as you have won a heart so have you won the gold. Your poem was the only one to make me feel anything. You have answered my challenge, a most poetic, fragile, tender and agonizingly beautiful write. You made my heart soar.
