You put up this wall when I'm around.
Like I wouldn't care what you had to say.
After a while your wall deteriorates
And you let me in, but at the weirdest times.
We could be talking about Shrek
And you would tell me how toxic your father is
Once you realize I care
You don't stop
Long talks from your parents needing a divorce
To a rough day you had at work
I'll always be there for you
And I think you finally realize that
You pretend you don't care about a lot of things
Like your friends or their feelings
But deep down its all you think about
It's what keeps you up most nights
You may ask how I know this,
But you forgot who held you that one night
That one night you were so broken you cried
You couldn't move off of the bench
I was the only one that noticed
So I held you, close to my chest
That was the first time you broke down in front of me.
No walls up.
No hidden emotions.
No lies.
Just complete and utter
vulnerability.
