The Arrival

The flowers are still fresh, recently bought from the store
Their wonderful essence, ready to enlighten her soul
I have pushed the bell to let her know
Her lover has arrived and is waiting at the door

He imagines her face, as he looks into his mind
She is the picture of innocence with peace in her eyes
Every time she smiles, his lungs forget to breathe
Every time she laughs, his heart misses a beat

He loves her more, then his soul and existence
To hold her in his arms he would travel eternal distance
When she kisses his lips, his heart doubles in size
When she whispers three words, he understands the meaning of life

I hear her footsteps, as she runs down those stairs
I feel her presence, as she looks to see who's there
I sense her longing, as she quickly unlocks the door
I welcome her arrival, as I start looking up from the floor

Hold it, wait a minute, do you expect me to wake up now
And for another wonderful illusion, do you want me to take a bow
Oh no, not this one, I am not giving up this time
I am real, she is real, even the flowers are alive

She sees that one person, the other half that completes her life
She joins him in an embrace, as the tears role down her eyes
They hold each other still, as the hours tick away
A shadow and a reflection joining hands on a blessed day
