Walls of Doubt

through the years i have been trying 
to find a love that was not lying 
about the way he really felt 
with one touch he'd make me melt 
but my heart i shut down tight 
i would not let it take flight 
it was hurt too many times 
by too many lovers lies 
it was hard to trust again 
till i found you as my best friend 
my heart grew wings a little more 
you helped me open up the door 
and knocked down my walls of doubt 
letting all my love flow out 
into a world of tenderness 
that i feel with each kiss 
and warm embrace that i receive 
leading my heart to believe 
that love and laughter can be found 
in your arms so safe and sound
