When Two Hearts Meet Poem by Marie WardAlonge

I have loved you by fate.
My longing for you grows by what I anticipate.
I dare to hold my breath when you walk through that door.

For when I see you,
My excitement runs through.
My pressure heightens.
With you, I am delighted.

With much more for me to disguise,
It is your beautiful smile.
It carries me away from a hectic day.
You allow me to fall in your arms for awhile.

I am pleased.
I feel your comfort.
I am at ease.
You bring me joy beyond my needs.

And at times, when you decide to scorn,
For what you believe you know.
My tears, I sometimes can't hide.
They do flow.

Words are said-before we go to bed.
We weigh our conscience before we take our sleep.
We recommit our love.
For each other, we thank our God above.

I know this sounds sweet.
With one steady beat,
This is what happens when two hearts meet.
Love.
