You Have Your Walls, And I Have My Own

I see the walls you keep up, and I can see why you have built them. You want to keep people from getting close, to keep them from getting to know the real you, to keep yourself from getting hurt, to keep yourself from committing to someone else, to keep yourself from being let down and taken advantage of, to keep your from hurting someone or let them down.

I can see see these walls and understand why you built them, because I too have built my own walls for similar reasons. Just know that I am willing not just to let you see behind my walls, but I am willing to let you in past them. I know how difficult it is to be willing to let someone in, but I want you to know that should you decide to let me in I will treat it as a privilege and appreciate all you have to share.
