"It will take some time,
Before I can let someone in,
And see what is truely in my heart...

It will take some time,
Before I can say 'I love you'
To someone who isn't family...

It will take some time,
Before I can get close to someone,
And not feel fear..

Fear that his feelings for me will change,
Fear of being forgotten,
And fear of being hurt...

I have tried to let someone in before,
And each time I did so,
Ended in heartbreak...

That is why I say,
Honestly and truethfully,
That it will take some time..."
