The first time I let my guard down

I didn’t know it would elicit the beginning

The most adventurous ride one could ask

But before I knew it

You had stolen my heart

Just as I thought I had nothing left

You showed me I still have so much to give

I never thought I would love again

Pain will do that to you

Make you believe you’re unworthy

Make you think you don’t deserve it

Especially when it comes from someone that held your vulnerability

Or worse still

Make you feel your heart harden

And for the first time I really believe I found my person

Chocolate diamonds for eyes

Sunshine for a smile

A voice that soothes my spirit and mind like the gentle caress of a melody

A heart of gold that’s been battered but still beats

She loves me ever so tenderly

Even though she’s afraid of being hurt

She allows me to show her each day I’m fully hers

I just want her to know real unconditional love is what she’s worth

And always has been

For the first time I’m truly in love

And I’ll do anything to protect her

She is peace, and I am safety
