Breath fled my tired lungs the day you said I was the one God put here just for you Behind me was the path which I had tred As doubt belittled all the hope that grew Fear chases me to hide my weary heart For love has always been a mystery Hurt left its trail of tears upon my start Your words a sad familiarity Forgive me if I’m hesitant to stand Pain has had its share it seems Changing what I held in hand Into a déjà vu of shattered dreams Written once in prose or rhymes Questions rise how will I know it’s true? Uttered ten million different times If you’re the one how will I know it’s you? We’ve known each other for a little while Desertion whispers words inside my head You are the one who healed my broken smile Yet pessimistic disillusions rise instead I pray for boldness everyday I live To seize upon the things I know are true To follow the motion His hand will give Directing me, I fell in love with you |

This is remarkable...all the hope shining through the fears and doubts...this is great Ignore those who would clip your wings...fly ever upward...even if it means scorched wings |

This is so full of honesty and truth. Falling in love can be quite scary. I speak from experience. But sometimes we must take the risk to experience the joy. Here's hoping that it works out for you. take care. ~amy~ |
