My Angel

I met a girl once, whom i taught not to cry. I found freedom in her arms And silent promises in her eyes... She asked nothing, I gave nothing... She bared her soul to me, She showed me her vulnerabilities. I tried hard to see,but under those fragments, But I could only see her strength. As she moved back into the shadows, I could only see her light burning bright. I thought I was strong.. She showed me what strength was! As I struggled to find where I belong, She answered me with a kiss.. " To love is... to give yourself And to keep giving." She took my hand in hers, Looked me in the eye, And, as i laid down my defences She taught me to fly.. Ans as she taught me to fly, I found my freedom in her arms, I found my identity in her eyes.
