I never knew it was true
That one could love me as you
I held the dream only at night
Never realizing I would find it in the light
This was how it went
As each season became spent
For years it repeated the same
I couldn’t help but think, am I the one to blame
Nonetheless, I always turned toward hope
It was all I found to keep me afloat.
So I clung to it as a bird to the wind
Always wondering if I would find it in the end
Then one day I chose to walk towards a fear
Knowing that vulnerability can often cause tears
I took a deep breath and didn’t look back
I held steadfast as I took this new track
I walked for years before my ears stumbled on a song
It touched me so intimately I knew it couldn’t be wrong
When I reached the source my eyes became stars
I was staring directly into a love without a single scar
Love held out its hand without a spoken word
As soon as I took it, we began to sing the same chord
I twirled her and danced with a funny voice
All the while delighted I took a difficult choice.
Residing beyond time, it escapes the future and holds no past. The now is all it will ever know. You’ll find it here, that magical space between our hearts. ~Alan Dilts
