When Light Moved In
There was an odd man who lived in the dark,
who was too stubborn to open his eyes.
The world that surrounds him, he had no part,
and only to himself did he confide.
But as time went on he became lonely,
and he longed for the voice of someone else.
To have a companion, his thought only,
to give to another and share of himself.
Then out of the blue he gets a new neighbor,
when a lovely lady moves in next door.
Then he soon found himself all in favor,
of meeting the one, he would come to adore.
He knocked at her door, and their eyes met.
It was love at first sight and head over heels.
All of his loneliness he would soon forget,
when she shared the same love that he feels.
Now the odd man has become more even,
since he became a part of a pair.
When the light moved in, the dark left grieving,
and the world around him, he was happy to share.
