The End

I met myself a woman
who changed my life one day
she came in like a shining star
and took my breath away..
 
I spoke to her for hours
about the life that I once had
the one that led me to a place
where I was drunk and sad..
 
I opened up some wounds
that I had never healed
looking for solutions    
of pain that I had sealed..
 
One day I got this feeling
I never felt before
free from all the burdens
my heart no longer sore..
 
I felt that God had placed you  
beside me through this time  
before I ever knew myself
I saw our life incline..
 
I was living new beginnings
with a woman not a man
something that I'd never thought
would go hand in hand..
 
I adapt to new surroundings
24 hours at a time
as I learn a program for my life
and gain a healthy mind..
 
Off to new adventures
with a love that shines so bright
To hold a hand  
to get a kiss  
to sleep as one at night..
 
I let down all my guards
first time in many years
this would be my weakness  
the cause of all my tears..
 
A door that once was open
now closed forever more
In that very moment
my heart fell to the floor..
 
When you spoke to me the reason
I no longer had your heart
I took a breath and brace myself
for now my tears will start..
 
You told me a relationship
was more then you had thought
many times you ask yourself  
is now the time to stop..
 
I tried to answer all your questions  
as the tears ran down my face
every fear I could imagine  
has now led me to this place..
 
Now the questions stands  
could we be just friends  
the answer not so easy
with a love that did not end..
 
I thought we had tomorrow  
like many times before  
this time is so much different  
with pain I can't ignore..
 
We've grown through many moments
trials and some tears
we almost made it to a time
we would celebrate one year..
 
As I look to the rebuilding  
of a life that changed that day
I see a rainbow in the sky
as my tears were swept away..
 
I am a different person  
than I was before we met  
for now I know just where I stand
In a life with no regret..
 
I have overcome some obstacles
that almost took my life  
a pain so great inside my heart  
that cut me like a knife..
 
I have a new employer  
with God I see a light  
one that shines so bright and free  
where life is not a fight..
