A New Beginning

We weren’t looking for one another nor did we know Once we met, how things would go We’d both been hurt and we’d both been cheated Companionship and affection are what we needed We seemed to hit it off right from the start But we have to be careful about sharing our heart Life is too short not to at least give this a try Let’s just enjoy each other and not ask why I know that you’re scared; I am too But for some reason I have no problem trusting you I give you my word; I’ll be honest and true Just know that I expect the same from you No time for lies, no time for games The things you and I want appear to be the same We don’t know what the future holds We just have to live day to day; It’s the best way I am told You’ll have my shoulder to lean on when you need a friend I’ll be there when you need me, on this you can depend No plans for the future do we need to discuss Right now things are going just fine for us Happiness with each other can be found in many ways Under moonlit skies or on sunny days You have a way of making my heart smile That’s something it hasn’t done for a while I’m sharing my heart; I’m letting you in I’ve made the choice to trust again I know this relationship is still new But I really love getting to know you I love the time we spend talking each night It seems as though things will turn out right If nothing else, we’ll have a friendship never ending In this poem I hope you’ll get the message I’m sending Copyright © 1999 Shari E Davis
