Once Dead In My Soul, Now Very Much Alive

I have learned to recognize desire as a physical need that
 I do rise above and think with the right head.
 Because I am not ashamed to feel and show that I can and
 do feel, my behavior is adjusted to fit my life.
 Love is still very much alive in my world and I do sometimes
 try to catch up on what on what was once dead
 From being afraid to love and take a chance on feeling the
 pain that inevitably comes along for the ride, I now
 have a wife,
 And to death do we part is the reality I live in now.
