Journey - part 4

I find myself to be beside
The girl I chased to lengths so far.
She's given in- she cannot hide
Behind her pride one second more.

But what I see is not regret.
She sees me now as one like her.
A happiness and awe have met
That chemistry between us stir.

We face again the path ahead
And there before us, standing tall,
A cliff awaits- steep banks of dread-
Our hardest journey of them all.

I look to her with all hope lost,
But she just smiles and takes my hand.
Her touch has giv'n my heart a toss,
We're off together for high land.

At last we scale the rock face, and
Behold, a hill just like before!
Both tired, we rest, and- hand in hand-
Anticipate one journey more.
