She looked into me, and I could tell she really saw me
Without saying a word, she took my hand and led me into a world that I'd never known
It was a place I could barely comprehend
I pulled in a deep breath, and my lungs filled like never before
The weight and compression I'd always known had left
Anxiety and fear replaced with something new
Something warm I was eager to ingest
A new beginning, new growth, a new outlook
Things I once thought only existed in a fairytale book
A chance encounter was all it took
This is where I belonged, there with her, when doubt would come
The sound of her voice always pulled me back in
The colors were brighter, and the days never ended
They just rolled into the next to start all over again
A new beginning, new growth, a new outlook
Things I once thought only existed in a fairytale book
A chance encounter was all it took
She gave this to me, a gift of unimagined dreams
Weightless, unburdened by gravity, I spread my wings
No boundaries of distance nor height
No tethers encouraged to take flight
I do my best to repay what she has given to me
Though not perfect, it all comes from a place of love
At times this student becomes the master
Our two halves combine as a single one
A new beginning, new growth, a new outlook
Things I once thought only existed in a fairytale book
A chance encounter was all it took
