Truth

Having been exposed to only lies,
My heart longed for the truth:
A truth which I did not know how to find,
A truth which I did not know how to look.
For years I searched and did not find,
My hope only dwindling as time when by.
Pain and despair surging through my heart,
If truth was not found then life I would soon depart.
I searched and searched yet nothing was found,
All hope was lost and to Death I was bound;
But that was until the day that I found you,
Your beautiful and radiant eyes gazing into mine.
But you weren't seeing my eyes,
You were seeing past and gazing into my tortured soul;
having seen the dreadful pain that we both shared,
I went into your arms and you went into mine.
At that exact moment I felt something new,
This new feeling I owe it all to you:
As if time went back my hope was restored,
As of time went back my heart became whole.
Having found my heart I have finally found the truth which my heart seeked,
The truth is: I love you.
