New loves and old...

Sat in thought and spoke a while
In the arms of my love last night
He asked a question
Stated a thought
And brought me to tears
And I shut my eyes
So he would not see
The inside private side of me

He continued to talk
And did not probe
He babbled away
And so it stood
Me in thought and he in talk
As I struggled
With loves past
As I dealt with pain anew

And after the moment
A little while later
I sat and talked with him a while
I confessed a little bit
I exposed a little bit
He saw some
And some he didn't
Some he understood
And some he didn't
But I spoke
And he listened
And so it stood-

He left today
A familiar ache
Sets in my heart
As I miss him
A little confusion
A little pain
A little loss
A little...
I don't even know
How to explain

Old loves- now friends
Called and we chatted a while
Of past moments
Old memories
So vague now
No feeling reclaimed
And thus I realized
New loves
Overshadow the old
Old aches linger
Sometimes

Everything is not
Perfect always...
But why not try
To open up
And give sometimes
Give 100% of you-
It may take time
May even be scary
But why not try
To open up
And love again
And let someone
Love you again...

Easy to have a fling but not easy to love if one is afraid. Being in love automatically makes one vulnerable to pain. Finding that special someone doesn't mean finding the perfect being, it means u find an imperfect person who u can love & at times tolerate :)despite the flaws and it means u r lucky that the feelings r reciprocated.
