I Never Believed in Love
I've never believed in love. 
 Never found it possible,
 Never found it satisfying,
 Perhaps I was too naïve,
 Too confused,
 Too scared. 
 Or perhaps all three. 
 
 But things are different now,
 I've found something wild, 
 Untamed and  
 Undefeated. 
 I am unsure when I stumbled upon it, 
 Or when your eyes first met mine. 
 
 All I know now is this is real. 
 Genuine. 
 Sweet and pure. 
 Like fresh honey. 
 Sometimes, a person has to 
 Endure some bees,
 Get stung a little,
 To reach something worthwhile. 
 
 Sometimes, 
 A person has to walk through a desert 
 To reach their ocean. 
 One has to fall a little, 
 Before they can fly. 
 Yet everyone has to fight a little,
 In order to die. 
 
 I never believed in love.
 Never found it reachable,
 Never found it fulfilling,
 Maybe I was childish,
 Or too naïve, or too scared,
 Probably all three.
 But not anymore,
 Because you've changed me.

To love is to be vulnerable; Triumph is born out of struggle; We notice shadows most when they stand alone in the midst of overwhelming light.
