SURRENDER
Each measured step
I thought I would take
to reach you,
to know you,
disappears
against my will
Each moment shared
I felt I could guard
from revealing,
from caring,
just crumbles
like Jericho's walls
Each thought of you
I knew I'd resist
grows stronger,
grows deeper,
overpowers
my sense of reason
Each breath inspired
I took just for me
now means more,
now matters,
surrendering
to possibility
