SHE STOOD THERE IN THE SHADOWS AND WATCHED HIM.. SHE LISTENED TO THE HUSKY SOUND OF HIS VOICE.. LET IT POUR OVER HER LIKE VELVET.. WONDERING WHO HE SANG FOR.. SHE KNEW NOT HIS NAME.. BUT SHE FELT SUCH THINGS FOR HIM.. ONE DAY SHE MIGHT BE BRAVE ENOUGH, STRONG ENOUGH, CONFIDENT ENOUGH TO STEP OUT OF THE SHADOWS.. TO COME FOWARD AND BE SEEN..
EVERY DAY SHE CAME TO HIM.. HIDING IN THE SHADOWS.. AS IF HE COULD EVER NOT SEE HER.. HE LET HER STAY HIDDEN.. NOT FROM HIM BUT FROM HERSELF.. HE WROTE AND SANG ONLY FOR HER.. HE SANG OF MENDING HER BROKEN HEART.. OF BEING HER FRIEND.. HER LOVER.. SOON HE WOULD LET THE SPOTLIGHT SHINE ON HER.. HE KNEW HE LOVED HER.. HE KNEW SHE WAS IN PAIN.. SHE NEEDED TO BE HEALED.. HE ONLY HOPED HE WAS UP TO THE CHALLENGE..
THE DAYS HAD TURNED TO WEEKS, MONTHS OF STANDING WITHIN THE SHADOWS.. NOW WAS THE TIME.. SHE SLOWLY MOVED FOWARD.. REMOVING HERSELF FROM THE SAFTY OF THE SHADOWS..
HE SAW HER MOVING FOWARDS TWARDS HIM.. HE SMILED.. " I KNEW YOU WOULD SEE THAT YOU HAD NO NEED TO FEAR ME.." HE TOLD HER ALL HIS SONGS WERE FOR HER.. SHE WAS THE ONLY ONE HE EVER SAW AS HE SANG.. HE SANG THE SONGS HE HAD WRITTEN FOR HER TO HER..
SHE FEELS BEAUTIFUL, LOVED.. SHE WAS NEVER HIDDEN FROM HIM.. HE HAD ALWAYS SEEN HER.. HE FELT THE SAME AS HER.. THERE WAS NO NEED TO FEAR.. HE WOULD PROTECT HER FROM ALL.. EVEN HER INNER DEMONS WERE SILENT AS SHE CAST ALL ASIDE.. TO BELIEVE.. TO BELIEVE..... IN LOVE...
