Sometimes he was so distant so close yet faraway, I couldn't get quite throgh to him No matter what I'd say. He built thick walls around him and let nobody inside Sometimes he was so secretive like he had something to hide. I knew of the life he had to lead and of the pain he's had to bear But nothing to him mattered, he never seemed to care. I tried everything I could and reached out a helping hand I wanted him to know I was there to understand. Only I could see the side of him that he'd been too scared to show Only I knew of the secrets he didn't want anyone to know. I found a whole new person that I had grown to love and a love that was much sweeter than I could ever have dreamed of. I gave to him my all and loved him with all my heart I could feel that all his walls were slowly falling apart. So although it looks to others like his walls will always stand I'm glad I tried so hard to find the heart he's always had.

This poem just goes to show that you should never judge a book by its cover.
There are times that you think you know someone just from how you see them on the outside and then realize you never really knew them at all until you see how they are on the inside.
