He's never truly known love
Until he saw her face
She was always watching
Always there
She seemed so fragile
He didn't want to hurt her
But when she asked
He took her hand
Without even knowing
He was letting his true self show
Breaking out of the shell and the walls
That were so carefully crafted
And when she touched her lips to his
His walls had crumbled
He was scared
He had never truly known love
Until then
