I'm a self-assured, confident woman who's very secure in myself and where I am in life. I walk my path with great strides and hold my shoulders high daring the world to try to get past the protective barriers I put around myself.
Then one day, I met you and I got thrown off balance...and began to notice that over time my protective barriers were beginning to tumble. The moment we saw eye to eye, I felt as if the final piece to my heart's puzzle finally snapped into place. Time stood still for a brief moment before it hit warp speed. That's when I realized that I'm not meeting you for the first time, but rather meeting you again for the first time in this life. It's like coming home and no matter what I do at this point, I can't stop it...I can't prevent it from taking me further down this road.
It's a powerful ride at an alarming rate of speed and I fear that it'll come to a crashing halt. Trying to take things slowly...trying to gather my belongings before the leap is made. Then it dawns on me...the leap was made long ago, before I was even aware of it. So I turn to you, with my heart in my hands and offer you what I didn't think I'd ever be able to offer again. I'm taking a mighty leap in a short time and hoping that I'll be able to feel your acceptance in your embrace and in your kiss, while seeing the reflection of a future in your eyes.
