i spent a lifetime building walls knowing nothing else to do. with walls, i felt protected from heartache old and new. with every day that passed, a brick was added to the pile. as months and years went by the wall rose higher. and all the while it never seemed to give to me the peace and joy i craved. it only brought me solitude and closer to my grave. i longed to have somebody take the mortar from my hand. to tell me "you don't need that wall! it's allright! i understand." i spent a lifetime building walls knowing nothing else to do i thought that work would never end ... but then along came you.
