For You

This is the first poem that came to me last night while in that "mode" in the middle of the night to write.  It is about where I am in my life right now.....learning to live, love and be happier...when I already thought I was. Enjoy
 

For You

I see your smile light up your face

When you say, mine or your place

I want to step up but I feel pulled back

Still afraid I’ll fall in the crack

You stretch out your hand and reach for mine

You say come here things will be fine

I step your way and then I shutter

My heart does flips. It begins to flutter

The past is a thing we all seem to know

That it belongs way down below

Not to hold us back from the happy times

That seems to keep you from being mine

So I step again toward your hand

I close my eyes but feel quick sand

Oh why, dear heart can’t you just allow

Me to step into his heart somehow

I reach out. I want to take hold

I feel quite giddy. I feel quite bold

I take a step.  Just one more

As I ease myself through that door

Then low and behold I find you there

That smile I know that says I care

And the air moves around my soul

As I realize I took hold

Where am I now that I’ve said okay

Still right here starting a brand new day

Your smile is still there.  It lights up your face

Your hand now holds my heart in place
