Guarded

He blew me a kiss

My heart skipped a beat

He told me he loved me

Nothing sounded so sweet

Am I moving too fast?

Am I just rushing in?

I don’t know what to say

My world’s caught in a spin

My heart aches

And all I want is to be with him

My voice shakes

At the mere thought of him

But what if it’s fake?

It’s not real at all

Wow that was close

I almost let my guard fall

For the first time in my life

I almost said yes

To the banging and pounding

Inside of my chest

To the piercing and yearning

I want to set free

And for once in my life

Give someone a part of me

The worries the pains

The hurt tears and all

The fear that someday

I might let my guard fall

And someone will hurt me

And break my heart

Then over again

Ill have to start

Building and building

Up that great wall

So just for now I think
Ill try not to let my guard fall
