He held me in his arms and all the realizations came crashing down on me...
That this is something i should have waited for,
Instead of settling for a guy who made misery a real feeling
Or the realization that all men aren't so evil
I get lost in the sweet scent of this new guy
With his wispy geled hair
And his endless brown eyes
I fall deep into this savior's arms and almost let myself drown in his confidence
Our eyes lock, and there is the deja-vu of a moment not too long ago,
When the world stopped and let me have one perfect memory of this stranger
(and the taste of orange chicken still lingers on his breath)
I dont have to beg him to take my hand,
Because it's already there
It scares me to think that I might be getting close to someone again,
And i think i don't really know him,
(even though i do)
I'm afraid that he will break my fragile heart
Like all the others before him
And leave me with bittersweet memories
I look away, avoiding a kiss that will send my heart skyrocketing,
But he grabs me face between his soft hands and kisses me so softly...
That i can't help but lose myself to his passion.
We lay there all night,
talking about our dreams
But the talk always ran out
When it came to me opening up to him
His strong arms never left their embrace of me
And i fell asleep smiling
Although the last thing i saw before my eyes closed
Was Justin's face
In our engagement picture on a shelf
And i drifted thinking,
"Tomorrow I will take that down."
Now it is tomorrow
And the pictures are packed carefully into a box of memories
Where they can live forever,
Without making me sad
I've moved them out of the way of my heart
To make room for whatever may come of this
And terrified,
I allow myself to be adored by a new heart.
