I know I can handle life on my own
But the lure of love is calling to me
With him all of my weakness is known
The human spirit is remarkably resilient
It can be battered and bent but not break
When I was at my very lowest point
The fear of death I couldn’t seem to shake
I found him so unexpected, like an accidental gift
His spirit was familiar, it felt the same fear and grief
He told me to lean on him, he could bear the weight
I did and he eased the fear, despite my disbelief
Even while drowning in worries and pain
He taught me to dream about forever again
We found our smiles despite fears and grief
I still am in awe of how our love story began
When I dream now it is about his love
I push the fear to the back of my mind
Not wasting time on what I can’t control
We have this day and the past is left behind
I know now that life can test my spirit
But on weary days I now have him to lean on
With him I have faith that my spirit won’t break
The future feels real and the fear is often gone
Love is the strongest medicine for what ails us
I just had to find the one that fit my heart
The past is full of lessons and the future is uncertain
But believing in love is a lovely place to start
