Path

For so long
I have been searching
for true love

For so long
people have turned
their backs upon me

For so long
I hated myself
and just wanted
it all to end

For so long
I have been
dead

but now
after so long
so many years
so many tears
my heart,
finally beats
for the first time
at least now
it has a reason to

I write from the heart
before I had nothing to say
now my heart is filled
with unexplainable feelings
for the one person
that didn't look away
that took me by the hand
the one person
who cared enough
to show me the way

everyone else
either ignored me
or tried to change me
but not her
for the first time
some body loves me
truly loves me
for who I really am
as I do her

After so Long
I have finally
found true Love

For the first time
I truly feel
Alive
