For The One Who Chased My Past

For so many years
I ran away
From myself, from love
I ran from emotion
But out of my darkness
You found me
Bruised and broken
Bleeding sweet tears
You  gave me peace
You gave me a love
I didn't know existed
I feel more alive
Than ever have I before
Has it really
Only been so soon
Since my smile was lifted
And my tears ran dry?
When I'm in your arms
The past fades away
His face... His face is gone
Yours is here
You push him away
Without even knowing
I want to thank you
But I think you know
In what I do
And how I say
"I love you."
