The Beginnng

Sometimes it takes the thought of losing someone to realize how much you actually care....

these marks on my skin
lead a trail straight to you
this hole in my heart
reminds me when you're gone
the worry on my face
tells me its real
how long it lasts
how far we go
every lingering kiss
with no guarantees
no expectations
the very beginning
of something new
fearful and unexplained
the scars of the past
teach caution
but when has caution
ever come with love?
