We never knew who built the walls
The walls around us
Inside us
Behind us

But not really
I mean the ones that stop you
From hanging out with friends
From going on a date
From doing anything outside your comfort zone

But you helped me break them down
Not really break
But more like take
We talked
We laughed
We cried
We un-built

They suddenly weren't there
And you were gone too
Where did they go?
Where did you go?
What to do?
Where to go?
I don't know
No one knows

Who can tell me
Really only the builder
But who was the builder?
Why did he build it?
When would I meet him?
Have we already met?

We have to know
But we also don't
I don't know if I want to know

Who could say why I couldn't do something?
Me
Who could say why I wouldn't do something?
Me
Am I the builder?
Surely not

How could I-
How would I-
How dare I-
I
I can't
I can?
I did
