Broken

The first time I met you,
It was like judging a book by its cover,
Since then, I've come to know,
You were hurt by a lover.

I misjudged you at first,
Taking you to be like most men,
Even though I had no idea,
Of where your life has been.

Now being exposed to the truth,
I can't help how strong my feelings are,
The need to be with you is present,
To heal your heart's scar.

When I see you through my eyes,
I see a man that has been broken,
Your soul speaks to my own,
In a way no one has ever spoken.

I want to be the one,
To show you how it can change,
I want to be the person,
with whom your thoughts exchange.

It won't be an easy task,
To get through your walls,
But know that I'll be here,
To save you when it falls.

I cannot explain the reasons,
For why I tell you so,
But I couldn't forgive myself,
If I never let you know.

As too many days have passed,
With several things left unsaid,
Today is the day I share with you,
the thoughts inside my head.
