How Incredible

How incredible these feelings.
My heart leaps into my throat and I am at a loss for words.
When you speak...the sound...oh...the sound of your voice
Sends delicious shivers cascading down my spine.
And when you laugh...oh...when you laugh
It is the delightful sound of a room full of tinkling crystal.
Oh...these feelings...happening to me.
Hah! Me! Me who only yesterday said:
Never again!
Never again will I lose my heart!
Never again will I open myself to the pain of being in love!
Never again will I dance the dance of a fool!
Never again!
Hah! Foolish warrior! Hah!
But,
somehow, she IS different. Yes,
Somehow, she touched my soul.
