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
