Second Thoughts

Second Thoughts

I look back on days departed
Days before I knew of your existence
Days when I held my whole heart
When I knew where I was going
Where I was headed
When my mind was set on moving ahead
My journey and path through life

I reflect on my once completeness
When you were only a desire
A fantasy
Before you became a necessity in my world
An asset in my life

Coming to me suddenly
Unnoticed
Here I was, unaware of your presence
Unconsciously drawing you into my heart
Gradually allowing you into my mind
Deepening into my thoughts

You make me contemplate over my actions
Over my beliefs
A "scratching of the head"
That's what you cause me to do

You open doors to my once imprisoned heart
Barbed with wire, protected from harm
I open my eyes and stare into truth
Stare into eyes of meaning
Helping me to have faith
Faith in trusting you
In Loving you
In letting you become a part of me

Those days departed
When I knew which course to follow
Which way I was going
My moving forward

Those days departed
Turning into a faded memory
A petty thought slowly slipping my mind
That direction once headed
Is simply a crumbled dream in my past

What I really mean to say is...

You've been an obstacle on my journey
A doubt in my definite direction
Confusion takes hold of me
Pulling me apart

You're that "Second Thought" in my head
That happiness in my so-called misery
Turning me around on my road
Where I'm thinking which way to go

This whole time
A though in the back of my mind
Telling me, "I'm missing out..."
On being with You.
