Sunshine

I promised myself never to fall in love again,
To never again feel the pain of being hurt.
I have spend years building and reinforcing
The walls around my heart never letting anyone close.

I “thought” I was happy with the life I had,
Not seeing the hurt I caused those that held me dear,
Refusing to see the pain I caused myself.

Then you appeared like a sun in a clouded sky,
Barely shining through the clouds.
Yet the longer we talked the more the clouds parted
The walls I build around my heart crumbled and fell down

You have given me back a life I knew was lost for good
For the first time in a long long time
I can look at life and smile for it is good
I feel alive again able to care, and see what I longed for, for so long

What I dreaded to think about for years
What I have been unable to say for years
I can say now in all truth and honesty
My heart is yours, I love you with everything that is me.
