she came to me
by susan frankovich

she came to me
under the starlight
with trusting eyes and
a smile on her face
        she was beautiful

she came to me
without hesitation
and she wrapped her
arms around me
        she was happy

she came to me
then she gently touched
my face and told me
that she was okay
        she thanked me

she came to me
and she held me one
last time and she let
me hold her back
        she accepted me

she came to me
and i could feel the
love in her embrace and
the joy in her heart
        she was free

and now so am i
