My Answer That You Seek

Your words touch my heart and are 
Embedded in my soul.
Could it be the young man I fell
In love with so long ago?
The young man who promised to me 
His love his heart  and his soul,
And as we walked under the moonlit sky
His words of our life together began to unfold.
And then one day that young man and his dreams were gone,
He left  me with only those memories to fall back on.
After all these years he’s now  back again,
And those memories of long ago greet me like a long lost friend.
The young boy from those years ago 
Has now become a man,
Standing here before he asks if we can begin our dreams and life again.
 I look into deep green  eyes and see 
The memories of long ago come back to me.
I know the young man I fell in love with long ago,
Needed time to grow
To grow into  the man who stands before me 
Knows  my answer is forever with him  is where I want to be
