"New Step Forward"

I wish you could see every part of me

And not just what you choose to view

To have the curiosity to know more

To dig deep into everything that is me

Unearth my passion

The heat at my core

Be brave enough to reach out and connect

Let fingers entwine

Hands palm to palm

Let all that has been in the past fade away

This is a new beginning

A step forward in the right direction

I give to you the deepest promise

Of absolute truth and caring respect

Expecting the same in return...

Hold tightly to these new emotions as they flow

Feel them through your heart and soul

Patience with kindness will let them naturally grow

Let the wind of change sway your heart from relationships past

Because I bear a light to help you out of the fallen darkness

Let these moments carry us to wherever they may lead

With opens hearts and open minds

Existing in every vibrant step laid out before us.
