Once, so dormant, so dead. Awakened by gentle words and thoughts.
Told to look inside and find what had and still did dwell there.
He taught me to see.

Fighting the battle that raged within me...I was confused...defeated within myself.
Beneath the battle...deep, deep beneath...the beauty of love waiting to come forth.
He told me to reach in and find it.
He taught me to search.

Inside...a soul, beliefs, feelings...uncharted territory till now.
The man entered...scooped up all he found there where no one else cared to tread...grouped all the insecure feelings  and emotions together...where they, as a unit, bore strength...and told me to feel them...and let them out.
He taught me to love.
