I Can See Again

In the world of today Love seemed to exist only in fairy tales The world had become so dark and lonely Every direction I saw only black and gray Light and warmth seemed a distant memory I had been through so much pain and suffering I had lost all hope of ever finding love I was ready to give up Until the day she entered my life At first I was blinded by the light and beauty For my eyes were accustomed to darkness I was mesmerized by this beautiful woman I thought she was an angel from above For her beauty was too great In an angelic voice she spoke to me She told me of her own pain and suffering But that she had not given up on love Then she ever so gently caressed my cheek And I felt a warmth spread throughout my body A feeling I thought was lost forever Ever so softly she kissed my lips I closed my eyes and tasted love When I dared to open my eyes again My world was colored in rainbows Not a trace of darkness could be found She took my hand and led the way Where we were going I did not know As long as I was with her I did not care
