Surrender

Little did we guess at our first meeting
That from the beginning we were destined
By generous fate to become lovers.
Vainly we thought that we could be just friends,
Embraces merely marks of affection,
Kisses no more than a simple greeting.
Hopeless in the face of overwhelming truth,
Every day brought us closer to the point
That we were forced to surrender to love,
Inspiring in each other such passion,
Heights of ecstasy never known before,
Each moment bringing new revelations
Of wondrous joy, stages on our journey,
Speeding us on our way to endless bliss.
