two is lonely

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 i am.
timid and frighted,
wanting to love again
and then there was you

a little relief from the beating
that my heart took,
trying 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 dissappeared that day,
the love that consumed me felt so perfect and so right
still hesitant to let anyone see who i really was
and then there was you.

believing in me,
trusing me,
loving me unconditionally,
letting go of all the fear,
anger,
and regret
knowing that it is ok
just to be who i am
crying,
laughing,
talking,
sharing emotions
that i tried to hide for so long.
all because there was you..
