From a distant shore and a land
and culture much older than mine,
our paths crossed one faithful fall day.

It was weeks before  I could glance
upon your beauty,
or ever hear your angelic voice.
And it would be many more months,
till I could feel your soft touch.

Yet, I felt connected to you from the start
and fell deeply in love with you.
An angel who I could tell
all my thoughts and dreams with.
An angel who would cry and laugh
all in the same wondrous moment with me.

It is more than my heart could
ever hope for.
And now from this distance shore,
I think of you and wait patiently
with all my heart.
Till I can hold you in my arms
and never let you go.
