I never knew it until it stared me in the face 

I couldn't even imagine it 

Write about it 

I laughed at it 

Mocked it 

Guarded it 

Spit on it 

A life time of wars conquered 

Vows made 

Lectures won . 

Until one day 

A girl was faced 

Eye to eye with a boy 

She was able to see into 

Every corner of his soul 

With out hesitation 

She reached for him . 

With out thinking 

With out looking back 

And he saw her too 

And reached back . 

And he left her 

Believing .
