New love from a broken heart*

You came to me when my guard was high,
Like an angel from the heavens falling from the sky.

I have such a hard time trusting once more,
After being dealt so much pain score after score.

You keep asking me to let you in my heart,
The problem is... I do not know where to start.

I do want to believe in every word you say,
But I am living in the past like it was today.

Many nights I ask the stars what I should do,
Answers I seek and faith in you.

I want to share my feelings hidden deep within,
To show you how I truly feel but scared to begin.

It has been almost a year since that day we met,
A wonderful year indeed that I will soon not forget.

So why can I not say the things that need to be said,
Those words that go unspoken I repeat over and over in my head.

The wall that stood so high has crumbled into the sea,
Under the tidal waves of love that you have set before me.

High upon the mountain I have found the New Love that I sought,
For it found me in a way that could never be bought.

I can say with certainty now that \"I love you\",
I may have yet to show it but with those three words my life begins anew.
