I'm not a woman
given the chance for someone to step in
and help me out,
I've learned to bite my lip,
tough it out,
just make it through
on smarts and cunning and a bit of bold bravery,
and yet, you've reached out
past my old chain link gate heart
that stands miles and miles and miles high and long,
and you've stood your ground against
those that sought to hurt me,
and my heart suddenly found the key that I doubted existed,
and together, my heart and I, unlocked that old gate
and let you in
you'll probably never know
just what that night meant
when you braved danger
to bring me back home again,
when Mihaya kidnapped me,
and I knew my own strength and cunning,
and somehow didn't expect you to come boldly crashing in,
didn't expect your love,
and then,
when the pirates had me,
you came as well to my rescue
in so many ways,
and my fence has no reason to close
when you draw near (anymore)
