James

Before you
I was locked in a box
four walls made of fear
were barriers to protect me
from want and need.
I'd shut my heart down
carefully cleaned and put it away
so sure
I would never love again.

But there you were
beside me
and with one kiss
my world fell open.
Blood ran
I breathed deeply
for what felt like the first time.
My heart began to thaw and tick
the walls fell away
I let you in.

Now the future
is an open road
a magic carpet
unfurled before me.
I love you.
That changes everything.
