please forgive me
if it takes me longer
to open up to you
i've had my heart badly broken
gave more of myself then i had
to men who did not deserve me
many times i gave forgiveness
in return all i got was more lies
and another bruise on my heart
i wish i could give you more of myself
i wish i could put your mind at ease
it is going to take me longer
to love you back
the way you deserve
so please be patient with me
as i learn to trust my heart again
