Blossoming Love

I remember, she was pale and fragile
But her feet, her feet were agile
Afraid of life, she cowered in fear or
She ran, ran to hide and disappear
Her life, yes it had been hard
That left, left her heart scarred
But her mind, it was very strong and
She knew, knew her past was wrong
One more, this was the last chance
She’d give, give herself this chance
Some hope, deep within her soul
Flickered, flickered like glowing coal

I remember, he was tall yet lonely
He felt, felt like he was the only
Dreary days, rain fell in his heart and
He wished, wished to share a part
His life, yes it had been dull
No wings, a life so far from full
Yet with hope, yes he continued and
Hoped for, for a helping hand
Somehow, his life would still change
Yes he knew, knew it would change
A spark, hope had light it’s light
Now less, less dark was his night

They met, first time under the stars
Their love, their love wiped away all scars
At first sight, joy came to both and
Their hearts, hearts began their growth
She has, yes she’s forgotten fear
He knows, knows only that she’s near
Their love, like a blossoming rose
It lasts, lasts and forever grows
