Teaching My Heart To Trust

Before I knew it I loved you with all my heart,

poured my entire soul into you from the very start. Never have I fallen so...

I was scared at first the direction I was going I couldn't tell, I did not know.

I was scared to go forward terrified to go back.

The wisdom and courage my heart needed, it most certainly lacked.

I turned and looked for a place to hide,

even though I couldn't get you off my mind.

Should I give love a chance?

The question swirled through my head..

would it be a heart break or romance?

I saw something move out of the corner of my eye,

I had realized it was not just my shadow by my side. You take a step forward with your heart in your hands. You promised me you were different, but so did the rest.

Then you looked into my eyes and I knew you passed the test.

It was a permanent exchange of hearts between yours and mine.

I remember feeling it then pushing it away as if I was it were a hallucination,

simply a fragment of my hearts imagination.

I took a chance and fell deeply in love.

I think you are what I've been looking for.

What was needed was time and a gentle shove.

I'm not afraid anymore, for I know I am your baby girl and you are my man.

Even though it's something new and I'm a little confused, I will not run.

I know if I were to fall,

in your arms I would land. There's a special love that grows between you and me. A special bond only we can feel,

but the world can see.

Everything is happening so fast

but something keeps telling me I have found a true love of the purest form, one that will last!

This was a poem I had written for my husband before we got married when I was 19. :-)
