New Year
New year , new me
Or is it just that I've been finally freed
From the shackles of sullen times once spent alone
No more standing with offerings before my old Love's stone
Knowing that to others, I have nothing to prove
I tried to hide my tears beneath the rain and gloom
Before my new self was born and is now in full Bloom
I took a chance on moving on
Trying somehow to unlock my cold heart
And hit "send" to ask about His military garb
Never knowing a man so strong or so large
Would come crashing into my heart like a barge
And leave me powerless against his honesty and charm
One day I was sitting in the car
Realizing that my life would soon become Ours
His large grin and stance soon answered the door
Of our new home and a brand new world to explore
With someone who never asks me to be more
Than myself or who I'm striving for
