The Power of One

As frail as a butterfly wing, and as soft as a whisper
But stronger than any metal, and harder than diamond
A heart of gold can become tarnished in time
Years of neglect and pain, yet still a glimmer shines through

Fate was meeting him that lazy afternoon
Chance was talking through the night
It took the risk of loosing him forever
That turned the tarnished heart to pure gold

The nightingale left that bloodied gilded cage
Learning the freedom of life without the chains
The wing-shaped heart flew towards the darkness
Never stopping until it found the one who cared

A faint heartbeat, a whispered promise
Hope that brightened the darkest nights
Trust that he held the key to a once locked soul
Made her remember that she wasn't chained to him

She simply loved him, as true lovers do
Waiting for the answer to calm those trembling lips
Freeing her mind from the doubts of the past
Opening her heart to let him in, with the answer of a single kiss
