It's in there I know

I'm all confused mixed up in my mind.
Afraid to let go for others to find,
My feelings tucked away in my heart,
I really don't know where I am supposed to start.

For years I had my life turned around,
I would silently without a sound,
Sometimes it was easy for me to see,
That this wasn't the life for me.

You see I was miles from home,
Feeling so very very alone,
My confidence had I had lost a long time ago,
Finding it is not easy I know.

Years later I meet someone nice,
But find it so hard to take his advice,
I want so much to let them into my life,
But inside I remember the pain that cut like a knife.

I don't want to be on my own anymore,
New dreams I really want to explore,
Do I take the chance and open up my heart?
Or do I close up and let my feelings fall apart.

I know inside my heart I need to let go,
And let my true feelings show,
Because inside my heart love is shining through,
I would like once more to say there is a a me and a you.
