My Heart Was.....

My heart was a lonely home with its gates open to let love come in

one day you knocked my gate and asked if your love could come in?

I looked at you with surprise to know

why you want to replace our friendship with love

and skipped a heartbeat when you said

your friendship was always love,

I welcomed you with wide arms and you painted my heart with love shades

i am truly grateful for that lovely day you walked inside my lonely gate.
