I found an old poem I wrote for Ski a few years ago and thought with Valentine's Day approaching, it would be an appropriate time to post it. I love you Ski!
I used to say I wasn't gonna fall.
I was gonna stand up straight and tall.
I wasn't gonna let anyone into my heart.
I couldn't have it again be broken apart.
No way! No how! I wouldn't let it be.
I would never let anyone else hurt me.
Then one day I met a man that I'd known from long ago.
We talked for awhile, then he said "You, I'd like to get to know."
I said "Ok, I think that's nice, but don't expect too much.
My guard is up just so you know, my heart you'll never touch."
That's when I told him my heart had been shattered by too many of his kind.
With a tear in his eye he says "But you are the one I've been trying to find."
He says he doesn't want to hurt me but if that is so true,
Why is my heart starting to hurt and why am I so blue?
He captures my full attention as he reaches out his hand.
He tries to let me know he really does understand.
The pain is there! I feel it now! I have to let you go!
I want to hide! I start to run! But my heart starts screaming "NO!"
What do you mean? I have to run! I can't get hurt anymore -
Hurry up, I see a way - there is an open door!
The closer I get to the door, the more I start to cry.
When suddenly my heart starts to whisper "He's not the reason why.
He's not the reason your heart hurts and why there's pain deep inside.
He's not the reason why you want to run or why you want to hide.
The pain is coming from you alone - you need to see the light.
He wants to love you with all he is - there's no need for you to fight.
Pick up your head, turn around and look him straight in the eye.
If you look deep enough you'll know - he's not the reason why.
I turn and look but all I see.....
Wait! This can not be.
How can this be true?
All I see is me, when I look at you.
You really do love me. How could I have been so blind?
To think I almost ran away from the love I've been waiting to find.
