Tell me the truth, sweet friend,
and my heart will listen,
even though my mind tries to run and hide.

Only one who truly cares
can pry open
the tightly clenched fists
that hold my heart door closed.

The magic is performed when
you give me your heart
to hold for a moment.

In your gentle wisdom
you know
I can only hold
one heart at a time.

In order to receive yours,
I must let go of mine.
