Poem by my alter ego...

It all started out, the simplest of things
The connection we made
My heart growing wings

Would have been easier, if I hadn’t gotten involved
And I can do nothing, but sit back and drown
Tired of caring, tired of the tears
Tired of living this life full of fears

My heart had been shattered, my soul rent apart
You showed me how to mend the hurt
You healed my soul with the touch of your smile

Would have been easier, if I hadn’t gotten involved
And I can do nothing, but sit back and drown
Tired of caring, tired of the tears
Tired of living this life full of fears

We grew oh so close, the feelings grew strong
But the hurts from the past, came rushing to a front
And fear grabbed ahold, of our freshly torn hearts

Would have been easier, if I hadn’t gotten involved
And I can do nothing, but sit back and drown
Tired of caring, tired of the tears
Tired of living this life full of fears

We’ve stepped back a little, to give us both time
To build on the foundation, the connection we made
Building on the our feelings for one another
Growing stronger every day

Would have been easier, if I hadn’t gotten involved
But the joy that I feel at the mention of your name
Gives me hope, and dries all the tears
And swiftly beats back the woeful dread fears

I would never change
Having you in my life
You have given me hope
And driven out all strife…
