Analysis of Two Hearts
Your heart was in the lost and found,
But I could not see why.
I knew a heart like yours was sound
And none should pass it by.
I took it home and cared for it,
With tenderness and love.
Then pretty soon your heart felt fit
Enough to rise above...
Above the slings and arrows felt
From careless words and deeds.
My own heart too began to melt,
Discovering its needs.
And now two hearts both beat as one,
In synchronicity.
The prize of love already won;
Quite priceless, and for free!
