Brand New

Your voice washes over me like a fever.
It soothes and smoothes over those forgotten scars.
I am left anew.

And to you, I am a diamond.
An untouched pearl within the depths of an unknown clam.
I believed to be tarnished, rusted and old.
But you have cleaned me.
You have polished the grime off to reveal the self that was hidden.

There I am.
You have discovered me.
Peeled back the layers to my purest form.
I am fragile.
I am new.

& I rejoice in the name of our brand new love.
A love that feels like it's roots had been placed within my life a millennium ago.

I'm so pale and thin.
and you're tanned arms embraced me in the warm spring wind of april.
I remember smiling slyly.
On my tipped toes.
I Inhaled your scent as oxygen.
Breathing you in as if my life depended upon it.

And I am so blessed.
So unreal.
You.
