Vulnerability

For so long, this is what I’ve always known
So here I go, allowing myself to remove the mask

It’s been so long since I’ve felt like this
To hide something so genuine, that few really know

Secluded, to each other we bare our souls
And yet, we let no one else see what’s really there
Overwhelming, it’s a feeling I have to hide
Anxious, I’ve been wanting you all along and speak
And for so many nights, my mind has wandered
Into the shadows and dreams of wehre this could go

All that was done before, we cannot undo or change
You know me as I know you, and try to understand
At times you have to pry what I try to hide from you
But once I warm up, I let you in like no one else

This something, has a name

If anything, I’d want it from you
And as scared as I may be
I’m letting go and telling you
It’s true, I want what’s always been there
Quiet, we said nothing at all
But the truth is far louder than we’d like to say
Or at least what we could not admit
If anything, I’d want it from you
