The Keeper of my Heart

Remember how I told you that I'd never loved before?
I'd shut my heart up in a box, closed and locked the door.
It was for my own protection, to stop me going insane,
They got what they wanted physically, but I always hid my pain.
Torment of the mind, is a terrible load to bare,
But after a while you become numb, you live with it, you don't care.
The years went by, things changed, time and people moved on,
And that was when I found myself feeling very alone.
I plucked up the courage from somewhere, to join a dating site,
In the hope of passing a few lonely hours on my own at night.
I spoke with different people, I liked to have a chat,
We'd pass away the hours, talk about this and that.
Then one day I was looking, and really quite by chance,
I saw your on line profile and took a fleeting glance.
Having felt not worthy of being able to speak,
I moved on to look at others but came back for a second peek.
You noticed I'd been looking and sent a text to say "Hi",
I wonder where'd we be today, if you to had been shy?
Well that's all behind us now, we've come along way in two years,
We've had a lot of laughs, and I've cried a sea of tears!
I know it's not always easy, living apart as we do,
But never think for one minute, that I'm not loving you.
For although we're not together, and by each other's side,
The love's so strong within my heart it's impossible to hide.
The reason I am sending you this, is really to explain,
That in this time you've healed my mind and took away my pain.
You alone have made me see, it is possible to give more,
To trust someone enough, that they hold the key to your door.
If I could just say one last thing, it's important that you know,
The key is yours to keep for life, which ever way we go.
For if you want to leave me I can never take it back,
My heart will be no good to me if it's not in tact.
My heart is yours to keep forever, Please guard it best you can,
For in you I know, I've found at last, a very special man.
