Rush of Love

Just when I was about
to give up on love,
it came into my life quickly
striking like a snake but as gentle
as a dove.

It opened in me passions
that I never felt before
leaving me totally confused
but yet yearning for more and more.

Why did love for me take so long?
This I guess I'll ner know
but now that its here finally,
I'll never let it go.

Forever I'll cherish it
hoping of it to never
ever give it up
always savoring the sweetness 
from this sudden rush of love.
