Finding each other

Fear has been one of my best friends,

along with pain, I am alive.

Through the sorrows that break me,

to the smiles I never show.

He reached into me showed me hope,

where never I would allow myself to feel.

A frightened little girl within me screaming,

calming voice of words never spoken.

Relaxation eminent in his arms I see,

holding close who I am for him.

Does he realize how much I need him,

can he begin to fathom the depths of my love?

I waited for him to notice me in his shadows,

with such eyes he reeled me into his heart.

Now that forever rips my never apart I know,

how in his arms I was made to be loved.



There was only desire for the end when she came,

no idea to what was about to change.

In her eyes I knew a reason to carry on,

after fate intervened proving I was wrong.

How could I know that she would know my heart,

unable to take in anything while we are apart.

She is the waves to my soul bearing the water of me,

loving in the shallows to all that she can see.

Breaths fading in but never out to drift away,

having forever in the light she sends me everyday.

Never a love for me I always told myself inside,

but as she touched me I had no more reasons left to cry.

Waking to her body cradled within my arms tonight,

how could I have known that her love would be my life?
