I’ve spent the longest time without you.
It’s been so long with no one to turn to.
I’ve sat in silence, knocked down and feeling blue.
Also hidden, stuck in violence.
No one knows what I’ve been through.
Then you came to me and opened my eyes to something new.
Teaching me how to see, this was the first time your heart came into view.
At first, I was scared. I had fallen apart. I was blind to the truth.
It was too much. I had felt the fear inside of me.
But with one touch I was clear. He set me free.
I’ve spent the longest time without you.
It’s been so long with no one to turn to.
I was lost but now found.
He had shown me I was no longer bound.
He stayed with me and then he explained;
that I could feel again, I was no longer restrained.
He sat and listened with an open heart.
So I confessed and felt a new start.
Allowing me to express my feelings.
Avowing a lifetime of hurtful dealings.
The pieces inside me were realigning.
I was in awe of his heart, it was purely shining.
With him beside me, I could feel love again.
This was true.
God, I love the view.
All of the bad had faded, and visions of pain had now been evaded;
that I had spent the longest time without you;
that it had been so long with no one to turn to.
Now I feel accepted. And loved too.
By someone who knows what I’ve been through.
