Aside

I Didn’t Know

I didn’t know
Life could be so good
Until you came along
Sappy but true

I’m not saying
Life is easier
Or that all the problems
Lurking in the shadows
Of my past
Didn’t follow me
Into this house

Because they did

But that didn’t matter
You cracked my shell
And rode the waves
Of pain
Doubt
Anger
Fear
Right along with me

And now
The future
Shines brightly
Upon the horizon
Each and every morning
That I open my eyes
And see you there

I didn’t know..
