in doubt

Many years have past

Many glorious sunsets over sparkling seas

And we’ve faced so much together,

People’s criticism

People’s scorn

People believing

Our love won’t work

We cut off their laughs

We sealed shut their mouths

We walked between them hand in hand

Cutting our way between their sea of doubt,

Reaching the shore laughing and safe.

Facing and accepting the fact that

We may drift away once or twice.

But totally believing

That without second thought

We’ll come back together,

Stronger than ever.

 

I see my reflection in your eyes

And I marvel at the happiness

Bursting out of me.

I feel like I am

A shooting star

Soaring across a rainbow

On a snowy night

Your smile shines across my fears

And lights up the dark sky of my worries

And I know I can always turn to you

When I’m in need of that shoulder to cry on.

 

I scream out loud

As someone stabs

Me in my back

Yet once again

Your soothing touch

Silences my screams and

Eases my pain

You bend down and help me

Pick up the pieces of my shattered dignity

And aid me in restoring

My self-esteem

No one else but you

 Can make me feel

Worthy of the air I breathe

And I just wanted to

Confess to you

I breathe for you

Every day
