in the light of the rising sun

I saw you today for the first time
and I realised all these years
I’ve been wrong

In your gaze I found something
I hadn’t seen before
nameless and choked
and honest

I want to be the woman you see
because in your eyes I am beautiful
and something more
than I’ve ever dared to dream

I can’t explain
the storm in my ribcage
or the tear-stained smile on my face
or the way our silence wraps me in its warm embrace

I can’t say the words
I fear you’re wanting to hear

But I can say
I was wrong all these years
and I’m sorry it took so long
to see the sunrise
hidden in your eyes
