A New Feeling

By Anaelle

What's this creeping my way?
Seeming to push the shadows away
I never knew my heart could be so light
Nor my tears so few
Are they becoming precious again?
Shed only becase...I care
A little more each day
The sun shining more brightly
But I never thought it'd be this hard...
To let go of age old depression
I never thought I'd miss
That which held me down so tightly
But still, it's creeping towards me
Leaving the nightmares behind
And I wonder...
Do you see it too?
Or do you have your own approaching?
Are you as scared as I am?
Hesitantly accepting...
This brand new feeling

And I'm afraid to call it love
For fear of scaring it away
It seems to be such a simple thing
With only simple intentions
Of bringing a smile to my face each day
Would you be the cause of this?
Of making the rain more beautiful
And the gray clouds more mysterious
Making my tears, still, more precious
(If only to yourself)
I'm starting to look forward to tomorrow
Even if it brings pain - impossible
And I'm smiling about yesterday
Having so little good memories
Enjoying the little moments gone by
Leaving the worry to find a new victim
But still I'm scared (so many reasons)...
Trying - hesitantly accepting...
This brand new feeling...
