Kept myself safe for the longest time from all the pain and hurt until I fell into the abyss of your eyes when you asked permission for my kiss my heart is open and I'm vulnerable because its on my sleeve again to feel your love takes courage I share myself completely not knowing what's coming around the next corner at my worst will you run or open your arms to welcome me in while I lick my wounds will you show me your scars to let me know I'm not alone My self preserved within your love
