Afraid to let anyone too close. Before, my mind would not let thoughts of love enter, Guarding my heart with grief and fear. Before, my nights only brought darkness, Like a black veil falling to cover my wounds. Before, my life held only emptiness and contempt, Anger guiding me through days of hell.
But on the day I found you, A brilliant light shone down on me As you breathed new life into me And renewed my will for living.
And now my heart almost bursts with a joy I have never felt before. And now my eyes are filled with a love So strong it overcomes all other thoughts. And now my body is strong and yet so soft, As I respond to your ever touch.
And now I anticipate my nights with eagerness Anxiously awaiting a time to share our day. And now my life is so full of hopes and dreams And what our life could someday be.
I am grateful to you for setting me free from myself, For finding within me a spark of desire, For rekindling the feelings I once thought were dead For loving me the way I really am.
I will hold your love close to me, This special gift you unselfishly gave Without expecting anything in return - A gift so pure, so simple, A gift I will cherish. And my total love I give in return.
