Sunshine on a dark cloudy day,
Wisps of happiness adorn the very air
In which she inhales,
Daydreams star in her eyes,
A single meeting of the heart so rare.

Dreaming of the potential possibilities,
As her heart skips a beat or two,
Joy eclipses the rising sun,
As she remembers the glorious night,
When his aura surrounded her through and through.

The whispered gasps of ecstasy,
As the song of his voice pierced her ears,
Harmonies floating between his words,
Meant for her, heard by no others,
As her hazy thought clears.

Like smoke on the waters,
His eyes capture the beauty of her dreams,
Reeling across her face in blatant honesty,
Star struck by the intensity between the pair,
Captured perfectly it seems.

Winters have been long,
As they both patiently waited,
Single in their solitude,
Breath held,
Twins within their agony frustrated.
