New Love

Someone special has recently entered my life
And it seems he is here to stay
Around him I feel incredibly giddy
And when we're together I always have fun
Somehow I was lucky enough to rope him in
So that now I can call him mine
For I see something unique in him
That quite simply drives me crazy

I am afraid that I will lose him
Drive him away with my words
Or my actions
Or my mind

His past relationships scare me
As it seems he's never seen a great one
The bar is set about as high
As it possibly could be
But I want to conquer this challenge
Because losing him would be a great loss indeed

I love to see his smile
His laugh is music to my ears
For as his fingertips caress me
Butterflies flit around inside me

Im unused to being the "woman"
But I feel feminine around him
For in his arms I know that I am safe
And I know he keeps me warm

His body is hard as could possibly be
But as I lay on him
He is as soft as he is sweet
I think I could fall in love with him
...But I wonder if he could ever love me

He is ashamed of his skin
Which is assaulted by disease
He doesnt see that he is beautiful,
That he is perfect to me

That disease is what drives him
He is passionate about finding a cure
In that passion is his maturity
And in that drive
I see his is gorgeousness

When he grins his eyes squint
And his light brown eyes sparkle
His body shakes
And his heartbeat quickens

He is a jovial man
And in that way
He is beautiful

There is a dedication that he has
Centered around adventure
Such that can be seen only in
Disney movies and wild dreams
...Or on roofs staring at the blood moon

I am an insecure woman, though
And his recent ex haunts me
The breakup was fresh when we began
And is fresh now

Perhaps he means it when he said it's over
But his subconscious begs to differ?
So says my mind...

But instead I'll choose to trust him
And at least for now
I want him in my life

So I will try my best to soldier on
And keep his hand in mine
For I know this man makes me happy
And happiness is all I want
