Awakening


Awake all through the night
The sun came up
And opened my eyes
After being closed for so long
It hurt
Someone was sent to help me
Realize the truth
Of which I already knew
For the first time
In a long time
I let myself be happy
If it was both ways
Then it would have been a beautiful thing
And I could give my love
And I could give it some more
But I too want to be loved
And if not to be loved
Then at least appreciated and respected
Such gifts cannot be asked for
Only the heart can provide
What the lips fail to convey
So all I can do is move on
My Love became my world
But I would never be his Love
So i wept
I looked up and saw
The sun peak from the clouds
It's warm smile carried out to me
And wrapped me like a blanket
And the birds sang
They sang to me
And told me everything would be alright
I let his hand go
It is at this moment that I freed
My Love
