Confession

It was so hard to find the strength to do
Make myself vulnerable and open up to you
Give you so much of my trust
And see all that we had in us
To pour out my heart and soul
Let myself lose control
Recognize we've gotten close
After many nights of letting go
Told you many of my past secrets
No reason left to keep them
Wanted you to see what's inside
So you could know all the things that make me hide
As time went on I began to feel secure
A skeptical mind however still kept me unsure
The pain of a cry isn't always worth the smile
Cuz sometimes happiness can only last a while
So I took my time careful not to rush
Maybe too careful but you never made a fuss
Gently allowed me to set my own pace
Then before I knew it the fear was erased
Finally I could tell you all I'd been holding back
Things from you I should have never concealed in fact
Nervous that I could lose all that we've come to build
Put it all on the line so you could see my guilt
Calmly you listened as I began to speak
Crumbling at the surface I know you felt me getting weak
You let me pick myself up but stayed there in case I fell
You weren't going to just walk away, I could tell
I'm not sure I deserved it but you told me not to worry
You said "I know you'd never intentionally hurt me"
And told me it says a lot about my character
To admit to my mistakes and try to make them better
I dismissed your argument suggesting you could be wrong
Because how could I not feel safe after this long?
You said this conversation said more than I could say
Gave you the assurance that I trust you in every way
And you acted like all that matters is we're here now
No need to worry about the future we'll make it through somehow
It's like my reasons made sense and you just understood
I'm pretty sure that not many people really would
So I just want to thank you for listening to my confession
Accepting my apology and not leaving me in rejection
Because you're right that I would never hurt anyone with intent
And I'm sorry if I caused any emotional distress
