Reserved for One: A poem

We don't trust enough

We don't pour out our hearts 

Telling all our secrets, our fears and surrendering to each other.
Completely and wholly. 

We can't. 

We've been taught to be cautious. 

Learnt to be guarded. 

Only a legal commitment allows exposure of the heart. 

Because what if you walk away

With the treasure trove of my insides

What if you laugh, use it against me, judge me

Hate me. 

But what if you're the only one who gets it. 

And even if you leave one day. 

You'll be the one who knows. 

And I won't care what you do with everything of me. 

Because I was meant to love you anyway.
