Reflecting on my relations with people.

I'm always so composed around you

And yet

You are one of the few

Around whom

I want

To lose control.

I don't want to hold back.

I don't want to be guarded.

But it comes as a natural reflex.

One born from many betrayals past.

Such strange irony-

To be too trusting to strangers,

Yet walled up around trusted friends.

I wonder what it will take

For those walls to crumble at last.
