New Beginning

"Now, as I drive along

the curvy road

heading home from

Heaven's Hideaway,

I remember the list

I have so far.

I am warm-hearted.

I am affectionate.

I am reliable.

I am generous.

I am smart.

I am strong.

Today,

I add another one.

I am Hopeful."

-I Heart You, You Haunt Me

I need to see you.

I need to feel you.

There was that day

I'll never forget,

As my smiles increase

With joy

And with happiness;

Something that's been forbidden

for about a year now.

Is this what used to be

or only a wishful memory.

With my strength,

I fight it.

Memories only lead to the

Past of my pain.

Looking out towards the new day

I see that face.

Just like the thing I needed most.

Thoughts of you

Scurry through my mind,

Making each smile

A hopeful,

Peaceful,

Happy Memory

and the Future with no pain arrives.
