With You

I believed a lot of things
That happiness would was just a fantasy
For me to feign and engender in my mind
Over the years, I lived through others
Through the characters that gave me peace

But I never believed my own peace was to be
That I would see the world through your eyes
That I would breathe new life between your lips
Through each kiss
I am restored and renewed

I believed a lot of myths
That love was just for the few
That I would never know the bliss
Of a morning dew, of a morning kiss
That the lucky could only experience this high

But I never believed they would be dispelled
That I would feel my spirit awaken
That I would give my all to see you once again
Each moment spent is a gift
A treasure that I never knew could exist within my arms

I believed that my heart would soar through alone
For another poem written for somebody else-
but not for me
I thought I would never see the path to you
That fate handed me a deck less than the aces

But I never believed it would be here and now
That I would be crying tears of joy
That I would be able to envision a future
A future that wasn't alone anymore
A future with you
