Closing of a Circle

I sit smiling wryly in a room of strangers;
She flies nervously upon silken wings.
I hold my heart loosely for which to hand her;
She thinks aloud worrying of these things.

The breath of a million typed words echo in my head;
The hours spent together yet oh so alone.
These memories sustain me in her stead;
Soon to be united in body, already heart and soul.

A doorway opens; reveling in the moment, I wait;
A knot ties itself tightly in me deep within.
Anxiously awaiting for a familiar face to cross the gate;
The knot of unknowing, I refuse to let it win.

I catch the eye of a beautiful soul, smiling broadly;
She emerges from the crowd of strangers.
The knot loosens swiftly as I rush to her head strongly;
Relief for her; now out of the unseen dangers.

A flood of emotion lithely dancing in my heart;
I hold her tight to my chest and kiss her softly on the cheek.
The heart and soul fell in love from miles apart;
The bodies now met, the circle is complete.
