Love Poem: She Is the One

She Is the One

Intrigued, yet infinitely cautious
was she The One?
I had been hurt before
  thinking with my heart
  loving with my head

It seemed I'd been down this road before
love's bright hope being held out like a prize at the fair-
  "Step right up! Guaranteed winners! 
  buy your ticket and throw the ball, 
  nobody goes home without a prize!"

Then the voice of an angel set off all my alarms
waking me from that deep sleep of self-protection
  a moment of clarity

One brick at a time
my walls came down
a robust bridge was erected
which led me to a garden called
  "She is The One"
