One True Love 9

3

Their eyes had all been

Your eyes, but I hadn’t known.

Their lips had all been

Your lips – unknown.

Their touch had been

But to prepare me for your own.

They had all been signs

Pointing me the way along.

If I had only known the song,

I would’ve heard fate

Calling me on.

Then you were here

And I knew:

Through a million kisses

I had been alone.
