The warm breeze blows

An ease creeps in

Unexpected and not particularly welcome

There is an edge to nerves

They heighten the sense

Bringing up my guard

Keeping me armed

I am not ready to open

Not ready for trusting

There is a wall that has started to crumble

In the darkness cloaked

My heart has been left exposed

The words were so real.The resonated in my brain as I stared at them. I was finally opening up. I was completely exposed, and for the first time in my life, I wasn’t afraid of it. I welcomed it. No matter what happened between Cali and me, at the end of the day, she had finally broken me out of my shell. She had seen the real me and hadn’t cut and run. That was priceless.
