All this time of searching
and insecurity at heart
I was unable to find that one true thing
able to keep me in line
my heart was lost for love
unable to grasp the floating veins
of the hearts, the so many hearts
drawing me to them
drowning me in their blood
but now for the first time in forever
my heart has begun to realize
that my loss of love was my searching
my looking too far
looking too hard
only causing me to fail
for if I had looked right in front of me
no further than right next door
one step, one breath away
my search for completion would have been over
would have ended sooner than now
your warm eyes and open heart
allow me to enter at my own risk
leaving my fragile heart in your capable hands
all i ever needed
was what took me 5 months too long to figure out
all I ever wanted was an honest love
a hope for a lasting future
growing closer every day
and respect for who I am
all I wanted was someone trusting
who would allow me to care and be there
who would allow me to help
and let me fail and succeed
without criticism or judgement
all I ever needed was to find this special someone
and my search would have ended
but it took me far too long
until I closed my dreams and opened my eyes
to see you standing by me
