I've lived a life of solitude and perjured myself in thought

Overcome by societal constraints and conjecture
Feeling disquieted in my existence
Feeling detached from self and communities offer of fellowship
Ever the one between the cracks
Rarely noticed and rarely worthy of note

Yearning for the comfort of mediocrity
Oppressive to my own self-growth
Uninspired by the possibilities of being

Many years went by until one day
You came into my life

How can one person so change my existence
Embolden my spirit with but a smile
Are you aware of how you make me feel
Roused anew with deliberations of a future
Thoughts turned to us rather than me

And of a life together based on love and respect
Never had I dreamed of feeling so complete
Do I have the courage to embrace such joy

Surely this is but a sweet dream about to unwravel with morning's light
Or perhaps I've passed in slumber and now trod upon heaven's floor
Unalterable in this tale, whether real or illusion, is one simple truth
Love is what I feel for you

Too often we make this verse our motto I know I have

Yearning for the comfort of mediocrity
Oppressive to my own self-growth
Uninspired by the possibilities of being

As cliched as it sounds love does change things, I can well relate to every line.
REally enjoyed the read.
