My only goal was to make you smile
Our lives were each their own chaos
But our love was in destiny’s hands
Conversations about life’s turmoils
Slowly blossoming into a friendship
Taking turns supporting one another
Helping each other to find their smile
Trust and commitment built slowly
One brick at a time we began to craft
A trust that could endure life’s trials
Could finding love make us whole again?
Seeing your face for the very first time
Was a feeling I will remember forever
Suddenly butterflies filled my insides
I knew instantly you were all I needed
Giving myself to you was my challenge
I was so broken the damage was visible
Wearing my pain just like a suit of armor
Desperate to protect my heart from hurt
You swore your intentions were pure
I could feel myself finally letting go
Letting you past the armor I had built
Trying not to question if I was worthy
The airport terminal was our first real kiss
That kiss was a perfect moment in time
Marking the next phase of our love story
Kissing you awoke something inside me
Yet I was still holding back because of fear
Knowing that you could shatter my heart
I wanted badly to give my entire self to you
Waiting until I found the perfect moment
I still remember the exact moment I let go
Finally trusting as I fell completely in love
That you would be there with arms open
Catching me every time I needed you to
Taking my hand you led me to the shower
Patiently getting the water just perfect
You took me into your arms embracing me
Kissing me so deeply that my heart raced
One shower changed everything for me
A simple moment when time stood still
My senses aware of every beautiful detail
I knew I would never forget that shower
We had stepped into the shower as two
But somehow under the flow of hot water
I surrendered that moment, I finally let go
In the steam and hot water we became one
Your soapy hands caressed my entire body
As if metaphorically washing away my past
I could feel myself shedding my heart’s armor
As you washed my body I became all yours
Our past molds us into who we have become
But it doesn’t have to define our entire future
One shower alone didn’t make me yours forever
But it was the moment I chose to truly let go
Hot water running over our naked bodies
Your hands exploring every crevice of me
Claiming what would become yours while
Washing away all the wrongs of the past
I will never be who I was before that shower
For your love has forever changed my future
Although you don’t choose the perfect moment
It’s your choice if you let it wash away your pain
