It's a harsh truth of life that I know,
Through the pain heavy footsteps that show
How a slap in the face, how the heart learned its place
The emotions my mind learned to stow.

I describe my love as so glowing.
With new potential ever flowing-
When my heart gave in, allowed feeling again
That moment in time never slowing.

Though this process of finding took years
You've guided me through all of my tears.
To love, to adjust, a new reason to trust
Day by day, note by note, healed my fears.
