I wasn’t frozen scared
to let you in.

You loving me,
was what frightened me most of all

I fell so many times before
bumping my head
along the way down
Down

I never quite fit through any door
before.
Before
I
Met
You

Your laughter soon
became my favorite sound
a symphony of highs and flowing
effortlessly

A gift from God,
I couldn’t look away.
I saw my spirit in your eyes.

I couldn’t have belonged
like I do with you
I didn’t fully appreciate being human.
Until
I
Met
You

I couldn’t allow you
to gift yourself to me,
couldn’t relent to have
you see me.

But it came upon us
swift and took flight
and I wasn’t who
I was before.

My hand never fit
a hand like it fits yours.
My heart couldn’t feel
such comfort as it does now.

    I really love this poem. Isn’t it amazing how much we learn about ourselves through those we love?

      It really is mind blowing. I honestly learned to love myself through the people I love. They showed me my likable traits and stuck around all these many years. I’m so grateful you enjoyed this and that it resonated with you! ❤
