Thoughts and Things

Hey Jude

A loner was what I was called

By the people who claimed they knew me

They judged me by how I looked

But never read my story

I had tried love once

I had given it my all

But, in the end, I was backstabbed

So I swore off love and put up walls

My heart was cold and broken

It was in desperate need of repair

It needed someone to love

And I needed someone to care

Then one day, without warning

She came around

And the world, as I knew it

Turned inside out and upside down

She represented all that was good

And made me feel feelings I’ve never felt before

She began to melt my frozen heart

And she started to break down my doors

But I didn’t give in so easily

I struggled and fought and strained

I remembered what it was like to be heartbroken

I didn’t want to, once again, experience the pain

Then a wise old man called my name

He said these words that I’ll always remember

‘If you know in your heart you have found her,

Go on and get her”.

From that moment I did what I had to do

That instant I let her into my heart

And I knew that this was not the end of my story

But rather, it was the start
