Finding You

Your voice penetrated my soul
Before I could even notice your glance.
I sat and wondered if I stood a chance
Til we seized that moment to embrace,
And shield each other from the cold.

Your laugh awakened my spirit.
I wanted to run and jump and play with abandon --
Set free to the wind, whatever came before.
Only we were there, aware of no one else around
Oh how I revelled in your light.

I felt my heart had been set free
Because in you, I could completely trust.
You promised me to try and never betray it.
And, curiously, I was no longer afraid
As my plight grew increasingly clear to me.

For I too, "could really feel my power"
Only, this time, I did not fear it.
With our vibrations strong and resonate,
Our boundaries began to disintegrate.
Our innocence, we began to recover.

I no longer silently suffer
From that day we grew apart.
That same day I began to live in fear.
When I began to build that wall,
And the belief I could not prosper.

I can sing it loud for you now
That I feel so forgiving
And I will harbor no more regrets
Of the mistakes I may have made,
And of your love that I never knew.

I want the entire world to hear
While you speak to me now,
That you fill my soul with courage.
So I open my heart to you once again
I am eager to hold you near.

Your voice penetrates my soul,
Your laughter awoke my spirit.
I felt that my heart has been set free
For I too, could really feel my power
So I no longer silently suffer
And I can sing it loud for you now,
That the entire world can hear it
