Rescuing the rescuer

He calls her his rescuer she saved him from destroying himself
Truth be told he actually saved her
Every day she walked in she would see him smile her way
She would smile back but then slowly turn away
The chemistry though unspoken could be felt from the start
But she had been hurt so many times she was protective of her heart
Many walls she had built from all the damage that was done
He could see the hurt in her eyes so her made their visits fun
He would smile he would laugh and even make a joke
His gentle words his caring eyes at her heart would poke
And over time, her heart so riddled with pain
Opened up so slowly her trust he did gain
Till one day her heart was open, it could trust again
Now he is her one true love, her lover and best friend
So as you see the rescued ended up to be
The man I fell in love with for he truly rescued me.
