Always, a shield I have in my mind

Slowly, your trust cracks away my defenses.

I crave, badly, for you to leave me

Like an untended garden

Whose beauty is above all the withering flowers

I try to shrug off all your words

Time after time

But it is as if the dawn is breaking each time your stare clouds my vision

The seasons brighten when you are around

A mystery

Between hard weather and a light wind

Cleansing my heart of untamed feelings

I wish he would leave me alone

Yet I wish he would stay so close
