Yesterday, I met a boy
His eyes shone with patience
His skin was soft with tenderness
And his name was love
I stood there before him
My eyes dark with fear
My skin, chafed with heartbreak
And I called myself hope
He sang songs of happiness
And then taught me the words
I told him stories of pain
And he showed me how to heal
He danced with me till daybreak
And held my broken dreams
We sat in awestruck silence
And watched our hearts unite
And now I stand beside him
My eyes bright with warmth
My skin, healed by hope
And now I, too, am love
