destiny

Will you take my hand

Even if I am turning away

Sensing a dark road that reaches in front of us

Will you hold it and not let go

Even as I know all of my fears and insecurites

So often

Steal the possibility of love from me

There is a path you showed me

That led into a beautiful forest

There is a tangled undergrowth I knew so well

From other times

Briar Rose

I hurt some boys

Wanting me

Finding me

Not knowing I was far far more

Than they ever bargained for

But you are different

And maybe that is why I have stayed

So long

For even as I turn my head away

There is another part of my soul

Turning back

And running towards you

Because deep inside my heart and soul

Somehow I know

You are my destiny
