my future

at last i can rest
having come to such a realisation
now knowing that it was you that held me back
preventing me from finding love again

such standards would never be met up to
how could someone compare?
but now I know this
i can rest easier

i can truly open my eyes
for the first time in so long
i can look around and take it all in
and be happy with my surroundings

never have i known such peace
a serenity that calms me from within
comfortable with myself
finding the inner storm and settling it

facing the future with a smile
and the confidence to know my own self-worth
excited by the prospect that there may be another
instead of crushed by the thought
that i've had my one and only chance

i'll treat myself to an easier existance
breathe easier
be happier
strive for what i deserve

i'm going to grasp my future with both hands
open myself to the possibility of love
play the game that i will find the one
and live into my dreams, instead of watching from afar.
