To Love Again

36 1 1
                                    

I had sworn that I would never again love anyone
That my heart was dead and not beating
I was willing to live my life all alone
But then in my endless night
You came and light my night sky

I had walked away and turned my back to love
Turned my back to life
I just wanted to be with my beautiful solitude
I built fortress around my heart
Not feel anything

I didn’t want to love you
But you made lover out of me
You took my heart and made it beat again
And somehow heal it
Now it beats for you

To love again was so scary
But that first little kiss
It did break my walls down
  You took my breath away
Promised to never to hurt me

I want to believe your words
And I’m going to trust you
You made me believe in love again
Now I’m ready to give this once broken heart to you
Knowing it is safe in your hands
