#FOWC: Guide

You found me, the real me, hidden behind the face I showed to the world

You listened. You held me when I was afraid. You helped me explore

Those fears which caused me to live behind the high barricade

You showed me my beauty which I could never before see

You taught me to laugh at the flaws I’d thought so dire

You showed me my strength and my tender heart

You taught me to work and take pride in it all

With you I laughed, I cried, I truly felt

Love and loved. For you, only you

Were my guide but I lost you

On the path we took

Together. To

Love

Written,  once again,  as response to a one word prompt from Fandango who has definitely sparked something in my imagination.
