Know Me Before

I want you to know me before you know me I want you to come to me correct. Study me 
like a course, I want love at it's fullest. Read me like so many of my poems, feel my 
vibe. Feel my heart. I just need one sentence in your head before you try my heart. I'm 
not naive so no stupid lines, I already have a big enough lock on my heart to let myself 
fall without good reason. Shyness is basically a shield I own, it doesn't come down until 
you make me feel comfortable. I want you to get the real, not some fantasy in your head 
that you have of me. Please search me, search my soul... put me together like a puzzle. I 
admire dedication, I admire persistence. I want you to know me before you know me, I hope 
that's not asking too much. Maybe it is, Maybe I am too complicated. But it's good to 
know before hand how to handle me. So here is my basic instructions. I tend to push guys 
away, though my heart craves romance. If you like me please don't walk away, at least not 
before you've tried numerous times. My eyes will open,it may be tough to crack the nut 
but eventually you'll grow on me. I will learn to love, with just one touch... But you 
have to guide me to the door or you'll never get the key. That's why I want you to know 
me before you know me.
