No Fear...In Love

No Fear…In Love

September 5^th-September 9^th, 2007

This one is very personal,

but it's kind of a neat story. :)

My life used to be so simple and safe.

I used to just wait at home and

Dream for someone to come along-

Who would let me run away with them…

I was so closed down then.

But, when you came into my home,

You took everything away from me

And left me so bitter and cold that night.

I pulled the covers up over me

And prayed to God to put me to sleep,

Can’t you see I’m crying?

Crying for someone to take me out of here.

Chorus:

I shivered the whole night through

But I still did my job,

And I still functioned completely,

I still carried the fire in my conversations,

And I still had time to love you.

When I started dating online,

I didn’t have any clear set views or goals,

I just wanted a reason not

To be in that awful place.

I met some great men

And I met some disgusting men.

I had some great times with you

But I also had nightmares

Not worth having again.

And, when I met a man

Who wouldn’t take no for an answer,

I knew I had to escape

So I ran, ran as hard as I could,

Into the night---

And back to that awful place.

Chorus

Bridge

I don’t know why

I’ve done all these things

Yet with so little regret.

I don’t know why I can’t

Do things in moderation

And concentrate on one thing at a time.

But, I know now

That I’ve grown from my mistakes.

2 ½ months after that awful day,

I met one of the greatest men ever.

It undid all the drama, hurt,

I had experienced over the summer.

It gave me a new chance

To be happy again.

I love you so much

And I’m more than fortunate

To have found you.
