Love will be my fall,
I am powerless to its call,l
It infuses yet disarms me,
How can I ever make him see?

I am intent to his every charm,
Respond to all his alarm,
Do I walk on the everlasting road of lonely strife,
Or journey towards a destination that promises new life?

One path is safe: unending: unchanging,
One path is dangerous: capricious: ever-wavering,
My mind drew to one, but my heart led me to the other,
Would he ever see me as his lover?

Somedays it seemed tha time had stopped, and impatient, I'd squirm,
Somedays time had no meaning, and things went by too fast for me to
learn
I know my love for him grows with every passing day,
But am I always to be so gay?

And now the path is near its end,
My love for him rises full within,
I take a deep breath and open the door,
Will he love me forevermore?

Penned by my hand on the 6th of Valnuary, in the year 284 AF.
