Jinx

          
inside the depths you first saw me     
a lonesome bird not knowing I was lonely     
singing my song     
I sang so darkly     
     
somehow you saw past the smoke
of what I pretended to be
and walked through the fire     
     
then sat down with the real me     
said "I want to get to know you"     
you must have known I didn't trust you in the beginning     
still you proceeded forward     
     
I didn't fool you with my fierce reputation     
somehow you always knew       
the lady I truly was     
     
I sat there on the inside shaking     
to have someone       
so boldly push past my facade     
     
you entered gently     
with no hidden agenda     
you just wanted to be my friend     
     
that's when my soul was stirred     
I was surprised     
to see a true beauty found in your eyes     
     
year after lonely year     
I missed my soul's mate     
looking to fill this sacred place       
with the love of a man     
     
never knowing it be a woman     
who would know me so intimately     
feels my thoughts without even asking     
     
our souls connected eternally     
before we took our first breaths     
it was fated       
we would travel this journey together  
leaving neither lonely again    
no not ever     
     
jinx beautiful     
I love you too
