Old Scars Healed

Remember the first time I started to trust you.
It was the strangest feeling I had yet to give.
I told you my secrets, my past and my fears.
And that was all i had to share.
You never left me like I thought you would.
Standing steadfast through the distant brewing storms, 
You always listened and knew what to say
Knew when to give a hug When I was having a bad day.
I used to listen, when you said you would always be there,
Barely registering the words spoken, believing it to be all a jest.
My courage did falter but never your faith.
Today the scars heal, i begin anew, new me, new life, and happiness with you.The ghosts finally laid to rest.
I sit and think about all the times we spend together, 
the silly smiles and the secret gestures that bamboozles others,
now i know you'd last through any weather.
It will never be too late for us to be.
Finally i believe you will stand by me through it all,
The glorious smile still resplendent.
As you so rightly said, there's light at the end of the tunnel.
Together we cross over to the spot where the sun shines bright.
the spotlight shines and the actor takes the stage ready to excel.
A fresh act begins of a new play.
A glorious chapter in a yet to be written essay.
