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.
