you’ve been the thing i’ve wanted to see, the times i’ve wanted to have, the hands i’ve wanted to feel.

in a dark time when i was ready to admit defeat…i found something.  something that shines…something that makes me smile.  at first i thought it was a fleeting moment…but it grew.  my eyes used to wander…and now i’m only seeing one thing, one thing i’d not planned to see.  when we look without our eyes and see with the gifts we’ve forgotten to use…things become so much brighter.  i’ve seen things i’d nearly forgotten, felt things i’d believed were long dead in my heart…but they’re as fresh as the first day i realized i could feel them. 

and i always find them in the least likely of places.

so many cross our paths, so many we tend to overlook, so many that will disappear into shadows…and we may never know what they truly offer.  tell me i’m superficial to call her beautiful, but tell me i’ve gone beyond because i’ve given something a chance…tell me i’ve opened my heart to something wonderful.

the things worth having never come without a price…a price i’d gladly pay.  i will be the discord in your life, i’ll be the thing that breaks your cycle, i’ll be the one to cause you strife you never knew possible.  are you willing to pay?  it won’t be an easy road…it never is when you try to touch my soul. 

stars will burn and mountains will crumble, but i’ll be constant in your eyes, the one that never strays his path, the one that stands as a beacon in your blurred eyes…and i’ll always be here to guide you through your torment. 

you’ve chosen a dangerous path, one filled with trials and tribulations, but i’ve seen your conviction and i believe in you.  i believe the balance i’ve seen is true and you’ll maintain your stride toward what will be best for you.  i’ll hold your hand if you stumble, and if your path leads you astray…i can only hope that i’ve given you a direction that you’ll not soon forget.

my patience is immovable when my heart deems it so.  my arms will be outstretched when you’re ready to jump.
