Awaited Love

They waited a year and a day 

Time passed slowly away 

Ready now to meet each other

No letter needed to recover 

Finally both now in sight 

No more the world to fight

Quickening the steps pace 

Hearts pounding in a race 

Tears welling up inside

Takes courage now to hide

Eventually a warm embrace 

Without a persecution trace 

Love to cherish without shame 

Both now feel the very same

The gender mark is put aside

Only love now does reside
