To Love Again

Three years left me Bruised and broken Sitting in a pile Of what use to be myself But you stumbled back into my life A man become from The boy I knew in childhood And offered me your hand My instinct whispered of my past It spoke the lies he once said And I sat there with a lit cigarette Puffing on the smoke I wondered what was truth You knelt on your knees And I saw the truth was you Tenderly, nervously, I laid with you My hope, my trust, my heart You found a way to hold it all You made me laugh, Around you I wouldn't flinch I started to fall Terrified But I started to fall Every Instinct screamed Telling me Id hit the ground That you would be no where to be found But you were just as scared You fell and I wasn't there Too caught up in my own hurt I forgot to see your worth My eyes squeezed tight Afraid to see the ground rise I opened them up And there you were Arms wide and ready Strong and steady Teaching me to love again
