What lies ahead is scary,
so frightening, in a way.
The coming years are in my every thought.
And, honestly, I am so leary,
to even plan a day,
to touch my dream that I've finally caught.
I know it's what I've wanted.
It's been here in my heart,
hiding, growing for so many years.
And now, it has exploded,
so I feel it is just a start,
because it has ended all my useless tears.
Ahead, it lies, still far away.
The time, my love, is drawing near,
and when it comes, I think I'll say,
the years ahead, they will be so dear.
