    I'm No Longer Afraid Of The Dark

     

    It’s never been easy, to always share with you

    Feelings of my heart, stowed away in my head

    Even though, you play such an important part

    The time now has come that I should tell why

    I was much afraid, to fall in love with any again

    Feared it would lead me to places already been .

    Didn’t want to live with another broken heart

    It wouldn’t matter if, unintentionally or not.

    I see falling in love as my walking in to the dark

    Never knowing if there is path beneath me or not

    guess it could be said I was afraid of the dark

    on a journey I said I’d never take again.

    Yet, I sensed everything about you was different

    grabbed my attention captured my imagination.

    You were wonderful, kind, witty and sweet

    That combination always overwhelms me

    You respected my space, with room to breathe.

    that’s when I first begin to see the possibility

    something real was there, other than physicality.

    We got beyond that part of our relationship,

    while we then worked on the emotional aspects.

    thoughts in my head said, my heart wasn’t ready.

    It wasn‘t as though; I hadn’t been this way before.

    You never lost faith, one of your greatest strength,

    or called into question my emotional commitment

    Thank you for your believing in us enough

    and not giving up, by hanging in there with me;

    I’m no longer afraid of the dark, my heart is happy
