Learning To Trust
by Ashley Renne Boykin

In the days before me and you,
I was entrapped in a love so deep.
When I had to let go so fast,
it was often hard to sleep.

I wondered for months what to do.
Who would take me in so soon?
I knew I was scared to try again,
but something stuck me like a pin.

It opened my eyes to a bright world
and to you, who were there on hold.
You taught me a thing called trust.
You said to last, it was a must.

I was a little scared to try,
but then your smile caught my eye.
I realized you are what I needed.
"Give me a chance" you pleaded.

I gave in and thought, "Why not?"
What could I lose from it.
Now we are together at last
and you are helping me with my past.

You tell me you are always here 
to care for and comfort me.
I think I've fallen in love again.
Why so soon?  Is it a sin?

I know my last love was true,
but no longer can I salvage it.
I admit that I will miss it always,
but I am making the best of my days.

Being with you is a dream
that I never want to end.
You've taught me how to trust
and how to let my heart love again.
