All of Me

I've always been a cynic
You knew that coming in
and you're so optimistic
it sometimes wears my patience thin.

I've tried to stay angry
but you always make me laugh
You have healed my whole heart
where for a time there was only a half.

I stayed empty to protect myself
from having to hurt and feel.
You wiggled your way in though
and I've managed to let myself heal.

My brick wall you've dismantled
showed me life as it should be
and although I'm scared to admit it,
for myself now I have dreams.

Although I still don't do mornings
and the darkness sometimes lingers,
You have changed the world for me
when you slipped the ring on my finger.

I try hard now not to worry
go with your theory that things will work out
and yes, I am still shocked
that you knew what you were talking about.

I know I am a handful
with my negative energy around
like a gray cloud in your sunny day
but your positive is my ground.

It took time, but you were willing
and I trust you and love you completely.
I'm happy for once because of you
even though I show it discreetly.

Your patience paid off
and now I am free
content now and whole
because you loved all of me.
