Locks softly removed

Locks softly removed

by your loving ways

you picked each one

day by day

that had my heart

in decay.

Suddenly my world

that had stood still

for years

was spinning out of control

towards you

losing fears

with each word you said

until at last I knew

I best be damn good

so you don’t disappear.

Now I smile, I cry

when walking down memory lane

but it’s a short path.
