I recall the first time, that I did spy
That sparkling smile that caught my eye
That glow it brought to my face caught me by surprise
You see, I never had any intent to get caught up
Ensnarled
Tangled
In sunshine
Having been burned several times
My love needed time to heal and grow anew
To cover my heart with protection
From the next potential heartbreak
Yet there you were, arms open, smile broad
Welcoming me into you.
Reluctantly I took a step.. testing the ground
Wondering if a foundation would be strong enough
You voice wrapped around my soul with a deep, rich laugh
You words comforted me when I needed them most
You matched my wit and my sarcasm to a tee
I had to look in the mirror to make sure I was still me.
Where was the wall I normally have..the bricks lay off to the side.
No fronting, no pretense.
Just you and I
Learning you and exposing me
I like this. And you. Pow!
