My heart reserves room for one.
One person who will pull on my heart strings
and make the longing worthwhile.
One soul who will help me endure the pain of being apart when we cannot be together.
I had closed that door so long ago,
vowing to never open that portal again and risk another heartache.
I was safe in my cocoon,
happy in my solitude, content in my seclusion.
You took me by surprise.
You made me create an exemption to my own rule.
Your eyes pierced through my armor.
You melted my resolve.
You are the only exception.
