My Turn (Shadow Sonnet)

Never believed I'd find true love, never
Prayed for so long for you love I prayed
Forever and longer, yours forever
Laid to rest sadness with promises laid

Meeting of souls in destiny's meeting
Designs in heaven, perfection designs
Fleeting glimpses, love is so fleeting
Resign the heart, unto thee I resign

Last shot at love, have I found love at last?
Pain for so long, can't get over the pain
Past regrets linger, still color the past
Again the tears fall, ink smudging again

Chance of this meeting, slim to no chance
Dance with love's feelings, my turn to dance
