One Day

He saunters into the room and looks at her with eyes full of love. As she stares back at him she wonders how she has ever deserved such love and compassion.
She had been abused with words and so much more. She had made her share of mistakes. She had left hearts in the dust when she should have fought harder to keep them.
At times she didn't respect her body and therefore gave them free reign not to care either.
On more than one occasion she ignored the voice inside her telling her what she knew in her heart was the right thing to do.
She had tried to bury the anguish and hurt of those who had hurt her. But it always seemed to surface when she was alone.
Day after day she tried to keep up this facade. This face she seemed to wear so well.
Until one day. He paid attention to her. He cared and loved. He listened.
He didn't seem to want to hurt her like so many before. And it seemed for once that she was given a second chance at love. A chance that she wasn't going to waste.
He showed her a love that she had never seen before. A love that was indescribable.
She still has her fears, but she knows it will be ok. While she doesn't understand how she has come to deserve such a love, she knows that its real.
