The Love of a Lifetime

* The love of a lifetime*

I've seen the love of a first love
And I've seen it turn dark
Mean words and hurtful hands
That completely scar your heart

I've seen how giddy can turn to control
Taking the air and sun away
Making each moment that you wake feel wasteful and mundane

I've seen the special feeling
Turn into you simply being used
When your around for convenience until they find someone new

A heart beaten and bruised
Left cold and alone
Unsure of people and their intentions
Just sure of what they've reaped and sewn

Like a fairy tale
Once dark turned light
The life I thought I was destined
Went from wrong to right

The cold inside went away
I no longer felt alone
He took away the hurt and undid what they had sewn.

The bruises went away
The uncertainty turned clear
I had finally fallen in love and for once I had no fear
