IT TAKES TIME


it takes time for me to love,

it takes time for me to truelly trust,

it takes time for me to believe your words

for them to sink in, not to runoff as my heart seems to be permeable rock,

it takes time for me to love,

i secretly hope you wait,

that you stay,

cos it takes time...
