True Love Cafe

Euphoria flutters inside,
excitement flies, too strong to hide,
a smile arises, pure and wide,
deep joyful bliss arrives to guide.

Profound senses become aware,
new zest for life swims in the air,
race out the door without a care,
emotions run beyond compare.

Dreams of “what will be”, here today,
giant surprise is on the way,
a long lost love is here to stay,
hearts reconcile in a cafe.

A loud knock pounds out of their chests,
minds do not know what to expect,
they both decide to take steep steps,
vow not to let fears interject.

Time stands so still, stares lock in place,
old stories written on their face,
souls interlock in deep embrace,
to share love, light, joy, and true grace.

A bit of happiness at last,
forgiveness clears tales from the past,
devotion blooms, peace spreads so fast,
future secure, bright, sweet, and vast.
