Cries of My Heart

Today you extended the invitation
My wait had stretched far and wide
Now as we stand among the midnight hour
You state to no longer hide

The sky is ignited with shimmering stars
I am engulfed by romance's air
Finally allowed to stare into emerald eyes
Lightly stroke your strawberry hair

I do not fret upon what altered your mind
Not eager to waste precious time
Will revel in the gift bestowed upon me
Allow the music of love to chime

Eventually, I will wear out my welcome
Happily, I vow to depart
Tears will not lead to sleepless nights
For now I answered the cries of my heart
