The Key
I had closed the door upon my heart
and wouldn't let anyone in.
I had trusted and loved only to be hurt,
but that would never happen again.
I had locked the door, and tossed the key
as hard and as far as I could.
Love would never enter there again.
My heart was closed for good.
Then, you came into my life
and made me change my mind.
Just when I thought that tiny key
was impossible to find.
That's when you held out your hand
and proved to me I was wrong.
Inside your palm was the key to my heart
you had it all along.
