Love walked in
one night from the cold.
I saw him at the door.
He carefully brushed
the snow from his hat and coat.

Love walked across
the dark room.
It seemed to grow brighter
with each step
as he came closer.

Love walked
too fast it seemed.
My heart beat faster
with each step
as he walked.

Love sat down
across from me.
I froze......
..afraid to breathe..
..afraid to blink.

Love's hand reached,
and touched mine.
I melted.
I took a breath....
no longer afraid.
