Awakening
Now I understand,,, you've helped me come back,
To myself, my first love, because I've been thrown off track,
Years of warped love, control, and pain,
Searching for love and happiness completely the wrong way,
You reminded me of a time, when my soul felt free,
When love was given freely and I had that sense of peace,
When I could see the miraculous, and knew it wasn't by chance,
When I didn't care what others thought, and I could be myself again,
When the world had no grip on my heart and my soul,
When they couldn't tell me what I already know,
The moment I allowed others opinions to have the upper hand,
The more and more I did it losing pieces of who I am,
Talking to you was like coming back home,
It brought my faith back to the love I've always known,
The experiences, the stories, the memories that were lost,
Too expensive to lose, and it all came with a cost,
That connection, that pull I felt towards you so long ago
Was meant for today, you brought me back home,
God brought you around at just the right time,
And just seeing all of this makes me want to cry,
A cry of relief from so many years of pain,
Just to be able to see my heart again,
