A New Beginning
We weren’t looking for one another nor did we know
Once we met, how things would go
We’d both been hurt and we’d both been cheated
Companionship and affection are what we needed
We seemed to hit it off right from the start
But we have to be careful about sharing our heart
Life is too short not to at least give this a try
Let’s just enjoy each other and not ask why
I know that you’re scared; I am too
But for some reason I have no problem trusting you
I give you my word; I’ll be honest and true
Just know that I expect the same from you
No time for lies, no time for games
The things you and I want appear to be the same
We don’t know what the future holds
We just have to live day to day; It’s the best way I am told
You’ll have my shoulder to lean on when you need a friend
I’ll be there when you need me, on this you can depend
No plans for the future do we need to discuss
Right now things are going just fine for us
Happiness with each other can be found in many ways
Under moonlit skies or on sunny days
You have a way of making my heart smile
That’s something it hasn’t done for a while
I’m sharing my heart; I’m letting you in
I’ve made the choice to trust again
I know this relationship is still new
But I really love getting to know you
I love the time we spend talking each night
It seems as though things will turn out right
If nothing else, we’ll have a friendship never ending
In this poem I hope you’ll get the message I’m sending
