My Heart

My Heart I hid it for years Didn't want to feel the pain of the hurt the one that left me with it Walls up to protect the feelings I met the one and I pushed him away Not on purpose I am crying now because I can't remember how to trust I can't remember how to fall in love I don't want to lose you How do I love? I want the love like my parents I ask others how did they know? You're persistent I asked you why? You said because there was a twinkle in my eyes I want to love I hold you in my arms and a flutter in my heart starts Instead of asking others I ask you how to love You place your hand on my heart and say trust you I want to love you I want to learn how to love Lust has left and Love has come in I want to love I feel the pounding of my heart The walls are tumbling down You kiss me and between the tears My Heart is awaken I want to love you You are teaching me how to love again My Heart Patricia A.
