These words are mine, and mine alone. They belong solely to me. I'd love to hear what you think, tell me they're wonderful, they suck, they touched you, they made you cry. Just tell me.redsasquatch2@hotmail.com

Unexpected Change

I was not looking anywhere

I was not looking for anyone

I was not looking wanting to share

I was not looking for life anew

You knocked on my door, I opened it

You knocked on my eyes, I opened them

You knocked on my heart, I opened it too

You knocked on my life, what else could I do

You spoke to me, timid and shy

You spoke to me, brave and bold

You spoke to me, like no other had

You spoke to me, accepting good and bad

I was scared, thought surely you'd run

I was scared, compassion unknown

I was scared, there was nothing to hide

I was scared, you saw right inside

I am thankful for unconditional love

I am thankful every time I see your name

I am thankful our worlds did collide

I am thankful you are far braver than I

We are blessed, we have each other

We are blessed, our lives are strong

We are blessed, we see what's real

We are blessed, with a special deal.

Time is passing, never standing still

Time is passing, life feels so real

Time is passing, I'll never forget

Time is passing, I have no regrets

I'm holding on, as tight as I can

I'm holding on, the outstretched hand

I'm holding on, seeing the morning dawn

I'm holding on, fearing the day that I am gone
