To Be Loved Again
 I know I can be loved again:
 That this hard heart will ease and
 more warm and gentle thoughts reasoned,
 and her cherished smile somehow reclaimed. 

 I know I can share this joy once more
 with her.  No more disguises. I will feel
 her soothing touch and sweet voice reveal
 these things to me, and she will restore

 my faith. And I will be loved today
 and tomorrow.  She will not leave.
 And with a little grin she will cede
 to me a kiss, and to my embrace.
