I imagine a place, where the sunshine lives.
where the songs of the early birds pull us from slumber.
where love and joy fill the air; the very oxygen we breathe.
in the midst of nature's truth, nature's beauty...
all of life's meaning is laid out before us,
daring us to love,
and live,
to grow,
to discover the gifts we've been given.
we'll sit and pass the time underneath the shade of a great tree,
watching the clouds roll by.
skip stones on warm summer days
lay on the grass in the twilight gazing up at the stars...
hand-in-hand-in-hand
our hearts are full
You and I will
still gaze at each other all "googly" eyed
with smiles and love
and the stars above
in that place that we call home.

This feeling that I have for you
Beats fiercely within my chest
Growing all the while
Deeper into the rabbit hole I go
Savoring everything
As if tasting it for the first time
Wrapped in your love
I am free
Wrapped in your arms
I am secure
How did I get to be so fortunate?
To have found a love so pure
So strong
Loving you comes so easily to me
I can't believe I get to be loved by you
We can build something beautiful
You and I

My precious heart
I have to do something
You’re hurting
I can’t just sit around
I must present a solution
I must protect you from all harm
Live with me…
Come live with me
Share with me
Love with me
Wave good-bye to haunting memories and negativity with me
This is so soon, I know
But my mind is made up
And in my heart I trust
I want you to feel safe
You deserve to feel loved
All day
Everyday
Without a doubt

How strange it seems
that my feelings should be
so deep
so strong
so pure.
With each passing day,
my heart swells at this sight of you,
smiles at the thought of you,
and when you leave, it aches to be near you once more.
It's unexpected, in the most beautiful way.
You are the epitome of what I deserve but felt was out of my reach.
The way you look at me
lights a fire in my soul
the way you kiss me
makes me come undone...
More than the physical,
I am in love with your mind, the way you speak, your heart...all of you.
Yes, I am in love with you.
I feel all of these things,
all of these things with the words on the tip of my tongue and the front lines of my heart.
I can't let the words escape my lips.
It's never quite the right time
I fear that you'll run...
It's never quite the right place.
I didn't think that I would get here so quickly.
I didn't expect to love you so easily and so completely.
But I do.
I absolutely adore you.

The pain still exists
Love is not a punishment
Love is not suffering
Love is not revenge

I was forgiven
For a time
Until he demanded that I pay for my crime
Deprived me of all feeling, he did
Together in the same room
Yet, alone in silence we’d sit

Obsessed with my suffering, he was
Finding reasons to upset me without real cause
Bait me with love then steal it all away
Day and night
Night and day
Years went by on that merry-go-round
Wishing he would let me go
Begging him to stay

He let me believe I deserved to suffer
Providing no answers when pressed
“Why do you treat me like this?!”
Met with only silence
At wit’s end
Staring at an emotionless face, I’d sit.

And I did deserve a consequence
Simply leaving would have been a better end
But he needed me to be full of self-loathing and shame
An obedient dog, I became
Hoping that he’d see
Just how devoted I could be
Still he never came around
Only kicked me while I was down

I am not who I was
And shall never be her again
I’ve learned from my mistakes
And become a master of self-restraint
I would not be who I am now
Without the experiences of then
New beginnings are always just around the bend.


I must keep it in my heart that…
I deserve so much more.
Love is honesty
Love is a healer
True love never wears thin.
Learn from the past
Build a beautiful future.

I’m free falling
Into the abyss that is your heart
Weightless and free
Wrapped in your warmth
Obsessed with your touch
My feelings for you build like ocean waves
Each time they come crashing down
I feel myself falling deeper and harder for you
I can’t deny this feeling
I won’t hide it.
I see the depth of your heart
I feel its pain
I feel its strength
For it resonates with my own
Like our hearts are calling out to each other...

I fear I’ve said too much
But forgive me if I hold you a little tighter
I just never want to let you go.

Ecstasy
Pure and untainted
Euphoria
Clean
Heavenly
Shakes me down to the core of my being
Outside the blurred lines of my vision
He is the light that guides me home
He is home
He is the place that makes me feel free
My heart filled with a new kind of peace
Free from pain
Free from anxiety
Just free to be me.
