A man, strong and steady as a beating drum.
Stands alone amongst the crowd
A rock on his own.
No one knows he aches for a companion
A woman from no where appears, more beautiful than the setting sun
The man yearns for love, and no one knows it
They both have the walls up, ready to repel heart ache, a feeling they both know too well
They embrace eachother, hesitant at first
Both ready for another disappointment
But as they hold eachother a warmth comes across them
Could this be the love they've been looking for?
They laugh and cry together, slowly UN-making the walls so carefully built
They make love and both know that the other is the half that makes them whole.
And so, sealed with a lovers tender kiss, they make their pact
A lovers agreement, older than time itself, transcendant of all other things
They will be together forever
