Redemption

Touch, as your fingernails gently graze my skin,

Loved—I knew this feeling for the first time,

When I held you firmly against my chin.

Heard, as you let me rant for over half an hour—

Your eyes wide open, without uttering a word.

Seen, as your heartwarming smile coaxed my face to grin.

Our love has come to blossom; our hearts have synchronized.

In each other's arms, warm summer days turn to blissful starry nights.

When you walk into a room,

The atmosphere suddenly changes.

Your cheer saturates the air,

As every molecule is invaded

By your brilliant light.

Holding hands, we gaze at the horizon,

Your head leaning on my shoulder, 

The dark clouds finally gone.

For you took away my grief and freed me from my prison.

We've shared a bitter cup,

Both ex-convicts of Fate.

We've found ourselves in love,

Finally redeemed.
