My heart knows no words or poetry or song
To paint a picture of ultimate bliss.
I never looked for sunshine after a downpour of rain
But I'm shocked that the light actually came
After losing hope altogether.

No, I hadn't lost all hope.

Not yet.

The ounce that was left still swung my emotions
In a drunken rage of passion
Persuaded my contradictory voices
That I should give it one more shot.
And so after a few lifetimes
Consisting of the rise and fall of my soul
My heart was triumphantly before its pinnacle
Or mercifully laid to rest on its deathbed.

I would live or die again in just one moment.

Before I knew it, unrequited love ceased to exist
Revelations revealed
And disclosures demystified
Transformed the horrors of acrimony
Into the extremes of ecstasy.

I still cannot believe the truth.

The cavities of my heart have been filled
With the renewal of sentiment and affinity.
For so long have I hid in the comfort of shadows
But you reached out your hand
So we could fly across
The sky of applauding stars
And an approving moon.

I look back, of course
And wonder if I could ever leave the past
A haven I was so accustomed to living in.
Could I leave back a love
A first love
And simply go on with life?

But I turn back towards you
And reply with a smile
Cause leaving the past behind

Isn't so hard to do anymore.
