I had resigned myself to the ember wall
around my heart.
Then out of nowhere you came in
and with your shy sweetness
and nervous eyes you lifted me out
of my ashy fortress.
I find warmth in your genuine kindness
that I thought I'd never feel again.
Yet my caution chokes my feelings back
and neither time nor distance
are on our side.
So tell me, gentle boy, what will we be?
around my heart.

(So I've found someone new....Normally I would be ecstatic and bubbly about it but after what happened to me before I can't help but be slightly...Afraid? I never want to be where I was before, literally uncomfortable in my own skin in front of someone I was just starting to truly be myself around. I'm optimistic, but cautious.)
