Confused
unhappy
didn't know what to expect
hands held high
in a church
love saw me.
I wiped the tears from my eyes
thought about what I was missing
had a past that I couldn't commit to
but love sat by me.
Thought my present struggle was my future
made plans to become one
packed my bags
but love put them down.
Love saw me
from far away
a lighthouse
a vision of what was to come.
It didn't fight the truth like others did
it welcomed it and asked, "What will you have me to do?"
Love didn't judge me, it embraced me.
I received love, told it to never let go.
It gave me a new life, it promised a better future.
I could be me
didn't have to build a wall
I could trust again
I could love again!
Love saw me...
