    We must learn to crawl Before we can walk Day dreaming someday We could finally fly Life is unpredictable Hearts easily are broken The dream of flying At times almost forgotten We can become lost Simply numbing the pain Hiding in our own cocoon Afraid to feel the hurt If we are willing to try again To let ourselves feel love Despite the risk of failure Then anything is possible I found you so broken Yet you opened your heart enfolding me in your warmth You became my cocoon I crawled into your open arms Succumbing to your smile Finally trusting my own heart I slowly began to change inside We were scarred but beautiful Each scar telling its own story Knowing you love me despite The damage I try so hard to hide As you carefully sheltered me Together we became stronger We learned each day is a gift Full of endless possibilities Crawling out into the sun Hand in hand together We slowly began to walk A path with no directions Every time I jumped ahead You patiently reminded me That no path is without risk Never letting go of my hand Starting our journey as friends We never saw love coming Now free of the cocoons That we had each created The warmth of the sunshine Feeding the fires of love Stretching our butterfly wings Together we can finally fly
