I cannot be in love, it's the way I've started to veer.
Not because it's what I want, or that I don't want someone near.
My life has complications that I wouldn't wish on a lover.
I've already lost one love to this path, and my heart couldn't take another.

I thought my life a sentence cause it limits where I can go.
But I find myself in a place of peace that makes me feel a glow.
It's the life I've always hoped for though it's more like a limited sample.
I still have reservations though the time I spend is ample.

My heart is still on house arrest, though it wants its freedom back.
And it will surely run for it if it sees it's prison crack.
I have to keep my walls up though the guards have grown remiss.
I have to keep myself in check, I try to avoid the risk.

But I want to fly again, I want to feel love and much more.
My wings weren't meant for the grounded life, they are meant for me to soar.
I'll keep myself on stand by til the time comes once again.
I can hold another in my arms in a way that's more than friends.

I'm standing on a threshold with momentum I can't slow.
This passion that has grown in me, needs a place to call it's own.
A partner that will not give up, and can face it all together.
We share all of our sunny days or the less desirable weather.

So on I trek, to parts unknown, looking for my future's answer.
To avoid the sea of dark and woes that infects like it's a cancer.
I'll keep being strong, and carry on, as I travel sea and land.
And I'll find the one I'll face it with as we hold each other's hand..
