...and there was you

so cold and dark, so empty and alone,
Never knowing what real love was.

so fragile and closed, so hateful and cruel,
never to open my heart to anyone, and then there was you.
so scared, so new, not knowing what was to come,
i gave you what little i had left.
hoping that you would want me the way that i am.

a little relief from the beating that my heart took,
trying hard to remember what it was like.
you showed me that it was real and true,
you touch so gentle, you saw right through.
all the pain and distrust disappeared,
the love that consumed me felt perfectly right.

believing in me, trusting me, loving me unconditionally,
letting go of all the fear, anger, and regret.
knowing that it is alright just to be who i am.
all because there was you.
