The Shell

You have so much on your mind,
But hesitate to tell.
I would love to be there for you
If you would only break your shell
The shell around your heart that is
Protecting yourself from the world
You open up to me slowly
Afraid you might be hurt
As we spend more time together
You start to trust me more
You tell me more about your life
And what you have in store
I am so in tune with you
I can understand your pain
So don’t be hesitant to open up to me
There is nothing to loose and everything to gain
Together we will walk hand in hand and side by side I will be with you forever if that is what you want
