Is It Really

it is never an easy thing, to become 
so dependent on another human being. 
It took years to build up walls of security, 
to find a place that makes us feel we are 
some how shielded from things this way. 
Then it takes years to slowly peel each wall down. 
It takes being so vulnerable with your mind, and your self. 
That's the hard part, once you have been discovered
 you can never build the walls up as secure as they once were. 
They will keep falling now and then exposing the true you. 
I never could decide if this is a good or bad thing. 
I still cant. There are times that it seems that it is right. 
Never knew if it was the right thing to,
 give yourself completely to someone. 
To expose all to them. I still dont know if its the right thing to do.
