A fragile heart

If I place my heart in your hand will you keep it safe?
will you cherish love and protect it and treat it right?
I trusted another with its keep, once a long time ago
he mishandled it... dropped it and broke it...f
fortunately not irreparable
I picked it up and took it home and hid it away for awhile
it was so damaged... nearly destroyed..very sensitive and fragile
I was able to put it back together but it has never been the same
its still too fragile to trust anyone...who plays and unfair game
its way too delicate to be mistreated or tossed to and fro
and until I met you my Friend was afraid to let if go
I'm beginning to think it is possible to expose it again to love
If the person that I entrust it with treats it gently... like a dove
although it appears the same as all others its from a special lot
it may not seem distinctive to you but its the only one Ive got
so are you able to keep my heart safe?I know its alot to ask
be honest if you cant promise at this time...you may not desire the task
Ive learned to be patient and recognize the moment...
I should give my heart to you
