I'Ve Left My Heart Exposed

I’ve left my heart exposed 
To all your vulnerabilities 
For they provoked some truth in you
That you often hid from me.

If I could read your silences,
I would assume you were afraid
That i’d reveal your secrets 
That have kept you confined this way.

I do not want you to think
That you can trust only yourself
For when I did so, I lost my ability
To love my life and myself.

You are much more beautiful
When you babble about your day 
And when you tap me on the shoulder
Just to hear what I have to say.

I never get tired of you 
And if you think I do, please tell me.
Please show me who you are and how you feel
Because i’m in love with you and all of your stories.
