Amal
I lay awake
And think of you.
Who could have known?
That I could learn to trust again.
We only had a moment
Of love so complete
And kisses so gentle
Blossoming from stolen glances.
Love comes to those who believe, they say.
When I feel your breath,
As we hold each other close,
I know that hope has touched my heart again.
