Because Of You.

Not to long ago I was lost, thought I'd never be found
Every single day and night spent with salty tears
Becoming numb inside, was slowly dying within
Until that one special day you suddenly appeared

Slowly the hot burning tears started to dry up
Every now and then being replaced with a little smile
Could feel myself falling deeper every single day
Though I tried my hardest to stay so hostile

Yet you were patient, continued working your way in
Fighting to get under that steel defense I had in place
Slowly laughs and giggles began to come with the smiles
Noticing that I was no longer feeling such a disgrace

Slowly you managed to start gaining my trust
Even though I admit I tried my hardest to resist
Trying so hard to keep my feelings contained
Denying everything, only for you to continually insist

Felt my guard lowering, barriers started to crumble
Realization hit one day that without warning I'd let you in
Though I began to panic at first, asking how it happened
Slowly trusting once more didn't feel like such a sin

Praying that things would be better this time
'Cause I knew I couldn't survive the hurt like before
Yet now when I look back on how I tried to protest
That hurt suddenly feels like it happened so long ago

Laughter now once more a common occurrence
Tears and rage suddenly something left in the past
Funny how things can change without warning
Then and now...amazing how much it contrasts

Had started to think all love brought was pain
Just something for fairy tales, something untrue
Now realizing the happiness and joy it can bring
And this transformation is all because of you
