Closer

The steps we take
Sometimes seem so small
It's hard to recognize
We have moved to a new "us"

The dream of "happily ever after"
Seemed impossible at best
You so distant, so unaffected
By my not-so-subtle hints

Of a life together
You and me
Now hand in hand, arm in arm
Forever.... Not enough time

To show how deep
My love for you flows
My affection grew
On it's own...

Without a clue
It would one day show
You paid attention
And finally knew

The time was right
To explore this strange man
Who doesn't let time or space
Stand in the way

Of expressing how he feels
Finally affecting her...
...She opens her eyes

And finds they are

one step closer

To the dream....
