There would be no turning back..

It was crystal clear from the very beginning

long before I felt I was on that old track

of being ready and suddenly falling

in love again after countless , bleak years.

At first I was confused, could not explain:

why was I filled with anticipation, breathless fears?

Tormenting dormant stirrings in my body, an old refrain;

taunted and haunted me so fiercely!

But you said you did not want to love again!

Yet I yearned for your touch so intensely

I had to reveal it though it caused so much pain

When you just repeated what I knew..

I ran away, there was nothing else to do!
