How Can It Be?

[CARESS]

How Can It Be?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
How can it be that you've changed my life?
I remember dark lonely times before you came.
It was almost pleasant sitting in the mire of my life.
I was comforted by my saddness, bitterness, and pain.
My friends were the dark memories that cut me like a knife.
How can it be that I'm loved again?
Me - the foul creature covered in the filth of past sins.
The outcast who felt no one cared going out of her mind.
Now as you take my hand and a new journey begins-
I still wonder how you can treat me like one of a kind.
How can it be that I'm loving you?
You, who have been my friend and companion for so long.
We laid the foundation on friendship and trust before.
Now when I feel weak from life's race, you are strong.
You ignored my initial resistance and calmly opened sealed doors.
How can it be that there's a future?
A future for someone like myself who could never look past today.
You have restored my faith in human kindness and love.
Now I can look into your eyes speaking words I never thought I'd say.
Thank you for your many gifts and most of all, helping me rise above.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
With All My Heart,
Caress

I don't know how it can be, but I know how it is.

Caress, my favorite description of love is : Getting joy out of watching the other person's spirit grow.
Sounds like you have real love in your life, from others to you, from you to others, and hopefully, if not already, from yourself to yourself.

e_GoTrip,

writnpage, yes, I am very blessed with love and the ability to love again. The "self-love" part takes day to day practice. Excellent quote, btw.

Thanks for taking the time. You guys are the best.
Luv,

Rollin, smiles back at ya, sweetie.

Dazzle, please don't be jealous. You know we hold a special place in our hearts for you. Love is out there, baby. I had given up on any hope of it for me and look at how things are turning out. I know that it'll knock on your door, too. You deserve it!

Angelight, you are are my heart, girl. I hope you know that. Spending time with you brightens my days. Love's comin' for you, too. I know it, because you give so much love and tenderness to others.

Love and many thanks,
Caress

This one's been rattling round in my memory for a few days - I just had to bump it.
Caress - this is an inspiration - thank you.

Caress, no one could be happier for you than I am. I know it's not always easy, but the journey's half the fun. I love you.
