Why do I love the way I do?
I lost that part of my heart a long time ago,
Or at least that's what I thought
After feeling shattered by those closest to me
I never thought my heart could feel anything... pure again
But I find that my heart can love more than I thought.
My heart reaches for the scent of nature and the pages of a new book,
My home, my rock, my reminder that it's okay to be happy.
My heart reaches for the scent of rain and country air,
My smile, my warmth, the deepest edges of my spirit.
I can see the pain in them
And I wish I could heal every break
Every pain, every ache
I will wipe away the tears
I will hold on forever
I have felt loneliness
I have felt true pain
I love the way I do,
Because I found who deserves to feel real love.
