Trust Me

You were complicated, I was fascinated
You were calculated and I was captivated

Trying to read you but I feel illiterate

Wondering if your secrecy is deliberate

Remaining out of my reach and beyond my perception

Always keeping up appearances of deception

I look at you and I know you think I'm blind

But your demeanor reveals your state of mind

I want to know the content of your Pandora box

But you have protected it with a million locks

Your conscious a mess with feelings you suppress

Making you believe I will love you less

I wish I could illustrate with beautiful metaphors

That I aspire to be forever yours
And I wish I could formulate clarifying explanations
That I would love you regardless of difficult situations

And although these are talents I do not possess
Remember despite of your mess, it is you who I want to caress

I want you to let me in, but I will not coerce

Just know I'm here, for better and for worse
And the only thing I yearn

Is for you to try to love me in return
