Cheers to you, Love
Cheers to you, Love
The sun has awakened within my deep world
The sky’s full of light with the nearly forgotten
I’m blinded and scared of this new found emotion
It’s as wild as fire yet as tame as the ocean
Once angry and feared, once lost and alone
With the hate in my eyes that refused not to grow
With hunger for violence that kept me to smile
With the rage held within, I’d be running for miles
Retribution I lusted, I wanted and needed
I wanted to kill all the men so conceded
But now I am tasting these sweet breaths of air
And my lips caress those of a man who does care.
My sky turned back blue, I’m calm yet so restless
Half the things that you say leave me speechless and breathless
You make my heart race, yet my words are sedated
It’s because all my thoughts are so well contemplated.
My eyes are ablaze; so bright and awake
I pray to myself that you won’t forsake
I won’t let you go, I won’t let you forget
All the things that we said or the day that we met
Before I was dead, but you gave me back pride
I used to be scared, and that’s what I’d hide
But now that you’re here, I feel I’m okay
I’m yours if you’ll have me, I won’t go away.
Don’t hurt me or scare me; I said I’d be good
I’ll listen when needed, and do what I should
I know I may not always do as I’m told
But I’ll try my best and hope you won’t scold.
My eye’s have been tired, but now I can sleep
If you’re in my dreams, there’s some hope to keep
You make me smile; can’t you see it in my eyes?
Despite my heart questioning and contemplating whys.
