Everything I hope for

and you will be the one...
And you will be the one to say to my heart,
           ”Come out! Come out!
       It’s OK to breathe again.”
“Forget the past. It’s only the future that matters.”
“Was what happened before really that bad?”
         ”Surely
                    you are stronger now.”
And your gentle coaxing will bring my heart
        out of the cocoon where it was
hidden, (wrapped tightly in thoughts and logic and plans.)
      Wincing at the brightness of the sun.
       Reaching blindly
                                for your hand.
