![]() ![]() They tried to tell me it's impossible to find a one so right. But I never lost hope Never lost hope Because they didn't know what was waiting just around the next turn. Nor could have I, with the memory of mistakes in my past. I had almost given up. Feeling some were meant to be alone. Then there you were There you were A wounded rose before me. Just as broken and secluded. Fighting remembrances of what might have been but was lost. That small innocence beside you, overjoyed and so bright. And I could not relate I could not relate I saw that you were guarded. Held captive in the fear of the unknown. Subjected to the solitude you chose by uncertainty. But I held out my hand; as was all I had to offer. Of just myself Just myself Fear inside me lurking, wondering if that would somehow be enough for you to ever trust, and maybe one day love. But I too was frightened; haunted by the ghosts of my past. Afraid to just be me, my opened hand began to tremble. I closed my eyes and swallowed. Thoughts about the risk screaming. I tried to drown them out To drown them out Never knowing what tomorrow brings, I watched my breathing race. Then I smiled at you. And you smiled at me. ![]() ![]() |
