When I Woke Up

I don't know what to say,
Or if it's worth revealing,
I'm afraid of what may,
So I've left it in my heart concealing.

Affection pours from your heart,
A rain of sunshine and confusion,
I had trouble from the start,
Figuring out if you're just another illusion.

Your smile ever gleaming in my eyes,
Penetrates my fear,
It dries the tears born in my cries,
And leaves me holding you dear.

Holding you closer than you even know,
I refuse to let go of the rope you threw out to me,
How much longer until my feeling will show,
And find out that in my dreams, you're all I see.

I could stare into your eyes all night,
And lose track of the time finding the right words to say,
But there are no words that bring justice to this reborn light,
That replaced the darkness that dissipated my hope away.

I could live under a bridge through the most brutal cold,
With nothing else to call my own,
And still feel like I have everything in my hold,
Because you're the reason why I'm home.

Home is not a place,
But a comforting feeling we find,
I found it when I woke up to your face,
That moment will never leave my mind.

I'm trying my best to show you,
All that you mean to me,
But I've come to learn that words just won't do,
There are no words strong enough to express the way you set me free.
