Blooming in the Dark

Can you love me from afar,

When you don't know who we are?

A distant dream, a silent plea,

Can love really find me?

How can I love when memories fade,

Lost in the shadows of yesterday's shade?

Yearning to be seen, to break the wall,

Craving connection, wanting it all.

Teach me to feel, to touch, to believe,

Between each breath, a new reprieve.

Like a flower in bloom, I open wide,

Growing through hell, with love as my guide.

You're so amazing, shining so bright,

In the darkest hours, you’re my light.

Can you love me, despite the unknown,

In your gaze, I find my home.

Step by step, I’m learning to trust,

With every touch, release and lust.

Rising from ashes, I start to see,

Love’s a journey, a destiny.

So hold me close, break through the night,

In your love, I find my flight.

Though I’ve been through hell and then some,

Your love’s the dawn, my beating drum.
