I told you my heart was tender

But that didn't stop you from shaking it

I told you it needed some mending

But that didn't stop you from breaking it

This all started so sweet

But then suddenly turned into frustration

Our perceptions of each other

Left us full of such aggravation

Your pride combined with my paranoia

Was a recipe for disaster

But your "arrogant mind" and my "anxious heart"

Found a way soon after

You gave me no relief

From my feelings of despair

And all that time you spent chasing me away

I somehow still ended up there

I began giving up

And you started giving in

I was able to open my mind

To your heart that you refuse to let win

And you opened up your heart

To my mind that was searching for a connection

Somehow this ended up

With such a beautiful self-reflection

And an understanding of each other

That has filled the gap between you and me

Making us both appreciate

A bond that lets us both see

Each other for who we are

And what we are is what we feel

All I can say is what I feel towards you

Is something very real.
