Since the day we met,
you have brought sunshine and joy to my life,
i told myself long ago
do not trust, do not let anyone in
somehow you found your way
through the walls of hurt and shame
you see right through me
to what is really inside
no matter how hard i try to hide what is there
you always seem to know,
without spoken words,
without hearing my voice
all you have to do is see my eyes.
there need be no words for me to say
and you know what i want to say
how did you do it
why did it happen
you crashed those walls i built
to keep me safe
now what am i to do
without those to protect what i have held so dear
please do not make me regret those walls coming down
for it took so long to build
it would take a lifetime to repair.
