You did restore my dignity

and proved what this could really be

that moment when you looked at me

I knew that things had changed. 

When you and I discovered how

succombing to this love allowed

the other pain to end, and now

there’s reason to believe. 

You showed me how to feel again

and all my woes went quiet when 

your hand held mine so tight, and then

I knew that I could breathe.
