Baby steps lead you
on your own way
into my life
starting today
breaking me out
of a dark, distant place
bringing me to joy
with just the sight of your face
with but one word
you bring me to smile
an expression in which
I've yet to show in a while
holding you close
feeling you near
prevents me from harm
enabling me to fear
all of this
i wish to forever feel
in hopes it will progress
into something true and real
