Brave Heart

I admire you from a far, concealing my identity in order to protect myself from a new scar.  

See I loved once before and losing it was a catastrophe. 

Left me with a paranoid notion that heart break is after me

So I hide behind words, hoping you might feel my sincerity through the letters on the page, somehow knowing it was me, you approach me and we engage in an everlasting conversation about everything and nothing.

Shaking my head to rid myself of these fantasies, knowing that I'm only bluffing. 

You walk past me and your scent lingers in my space, 

intoxicating my lungs and making my heart race. 

I see your wide smile raise the corner of your lips and radiate a warmth that I can feel deep within my core, my stomach leaps in and out of my chest like a endless revolving door.

Nervous, but something else starts to bubble to the surface.

Like a shovel to the dirt; I unearth it.

This must be confidence. 

I stand up straight and take a deep breathe.

It consumes my body, all of a sudden I'm possessed.

I start to walk towards you, times moving in slow motion now.

I open my mouth and words come out.

Filling your ears, you soak it in like water in a drought.

Time goes on and now we are an item.

I showed you those scars - and you loved me in-spite of them.
