With great surprise I have found
That contained within my chest
I still have a beating heart
Recently awoken by a random encounter
Joy is slowly pouring back in to my life
Drip by drip it’s filling up every moment of my life
Much has been lost throughout life
With that loss came wisdom
But what is wisdom, compared to love
Not even the wisests among us
Can balance his needs versus his duties
It eludes me, but it is crucial to find
The heart says to drink my fill while I can
Not pausing at all, not even for one breath
Intoxicate myself without regards of others
My mind knows, that drinking too much, too fast
From this new source of joy and love
Might drain it completely, and me with it
How can I find the strength
To resist what my heart desire
And avoid a potential disaster
Possibly making it final
Until we meet again...
