two months and the pain hasn't lessened,
buried in the scars is some kind of lesson-
people tend to change,
and love sometimes fades,
so far, love hasn't made a great impression.

i could see in your eyes, you wouldn't let her go,
you had touched every part of her-at the time i didn't know.
two and a half years, and this was the end of the show,
two and a half years, we finally let go.

my mind wants to hate you, but my conscious wishes you well,
some days i get along fine and other days feel like hell-
only time can erase the pain,
only ignorance can make me sane,
all the same, such a story with no one to tell.

until you, my dear, took the time to listen to my plight,
stood by my side and comforted me in my biggest fight.
and now your heartbeat gently soothes me to sleep at night,
two and a half years, and happiness has never felt so right.

I love the way your eyes sparkle with life
Every time I look into them;
Reborn from the ashes of lost love,
Is a newfound spark—hope;
That there can be a future again.
That someone can accept everything you are;
Regardless of the flaws, the insecurities—
See you in your most vulnerable state;
But never judge. Simply listen;
Take in what you have to offer,
Because love does not ask for perfection.
It’s the stroke of your hand on my cheek;
The gentleness in your voice as
Your shining eyes stare into mine—
Asking to see everything hiding inside.
All my thoughts, dreams, hopes, fears;
Until I have nothing left to hide.
Emotionally and physically naked
I stand before you; completely exposed—
But I am not afraid.
And it is in this moment;
I realize I have never been more complete;
This moment is love.
