So This is Love

Sometimes the right thing is the hardest thing to do –
Messages I heard in the back of mind wouldn’t let me go free –
The smile on your face is only a glimpse of all that’s inside
But the flaws I thought I had weren’t even real

You see, I almost gave up,
Yet I knew you were somewhere to be found
Took so long, but the time was right
There’s so much more left to go

So lonely, I prayed that one day this would come
So many times I felt so overlooked,
The rejection I felt was the frail bridge that led me to you
Now it feels like a new beginning on the other side….

So this is love,
Something I’ve waited so long for
To heal the wounds of the past
It’s only the beginning –

There’s nothing to be scared of,
No ro om left for any more pain,
Only room for love to grow,
It feels so right….

So this is love,
I taste it in the warm tears of joy streaming down my face,
I feel it in our hands together,
And I smell it in the sweetness of your hair

Nothing so great has ever happened,
It makes me want to be an even better person
And the sound of your voice fills me with a state of bliss
Like I’m cherished….

And I’ll hold you until all the pain is gone;
You’re like a breath of fresh air on a warm spring morning
While everything else is blooming,
And the stitches on my heart fall away because you’re here now –

So this is love….
