Finally Getting Up
For some reason
Until now
I have not seen my worth
And it is so sad
That it had to be you
To show it to me
I have never been treated like this
Felt so good about myself
Laughed so much
Been so excited to talk to someone
I'm scared of being hurt
But when you look into my eyes
All the worries go away
And I am left with questioning myself
What is my next move
I see the stars behind your eyes
The glimmer you get
I can tell this is all new for you
How long did I have to wait
To find someone who would care about me
The way you do
And have someone to care about
To see a morning text
To smile
And realize I'm not alone
There is so much
Behind those eyes of yours
I could swim in them for years
And never find out what is hidden behind them
I have so many questions
So many things to talk to you about
So many words left unspoken
How do I tell someone
That this is so new
So fresh
That the wounds are all slowly healing
With every touch
Every brush against my skin
Every breath into my ear
My limbs ache
My head is pounding
My heart is splintered
But somehow you found me in time
And for that I am eternally grateful

I have never been able to find a steady relationship with anyone in life. Not just dating but friends, family, etc. So much trauma has led up to a moment of complete shock and enlightenment. It seems like everything is finally coming together for me and I am so scared of it slipping away.
