You were nothing to me
A mere human to get in my way
To try to enlighten me

Not again
How absurd
I wouldn’t put myself at the mercy of another again
I promised myself that
And for a while I kept to my promise

But soon enough it wasn’t so easy
You always spoke
I always listened
Sometimes I wouldn’t comprehend the words
I’d just be lost in your voice

It’s not fair
I couldn’t put myself through this again

The promise was broke
Shattered to pieces upon the floor
The day we kissed
The day of the beginning of forever
My fear was lifted off of me
As a smile appeared upon my face now everyday
No more days of feeling alone
Never feeling useless or unwanted

So many times in my life, have I loved
But now it’s different
I’m loved in return
Such an extraordinary feeling
To know that you mean everything to the person
Who means everything to you

You were nothing to me
A mere human to get in my way
To try to enlighten me

It worked
I’m in love
I’ve fallen again

The only difference is
My first attempt at loved failed
All I got was everything inside of nothing
And then it was all taken away
My nothingness was empty
But I filled it with tears

This time though
My second attempt prevailed
I got everything but nothing
And more

My everything was in you
And I still overflow it with tears
Because I’m so overcome
And happy now
Because I finally realized
If you give what’s nothing a chance
It’s possible you’ll find everything
Everything in nothing
