With emotions
Held deep within

And feelings
Bound
By immeasurable
Distances

He faltered
only Slightly
As he took
That one step
Closer.

Closer to
Where her heart beat
In a rhythm
So close
To his own.
Yet unlike any
He had met before.

This journey
Had taken
A path of its own.

Unanticipated.

Fingers intertwined
Eyes locked
Silences treasured
Dreams shared.

He bent down.
And with his 
beating heart
Guiding his will

Dropped a single kiss
Upon her lips.

She smiled.
His eyes smiled back.

At last
He had arrived.
