I don't think I've been this happy in a long, long time...
Depressed
distressed
I've always been that way
Never really happy, something
always
lurking right beneath the surface
--The reflection of a non-existent
shadow in the water--
Never reaching to the other
side
break
the surface tension
Isn't a reflection
only
two-dimensional?
But everything's changed.
We met, and at last my fingers
touched
the surface
of the water and broke through.
What was that shadow? I
can't
see it
anymore, the spreading ripples destroy it.
Your love, the catalyst
that
gave me power to destroy the specter
--The ghosts of my past,
a heart that died--
You hold me, I'm safe, I
know you
won't
let me fall...
won't let me leave...
I know you'll protect me
from
nightmarish
shadows, and ghostly reflections.
I won't fear the water any
longer, I can
see below
the surface now, and it's all
incredibly clear.
