I want to trust but the weathering and withering of living prevents me from openning as I once did. My friend, can I call you friend? I don't know yet if you really are. What level of trust can I risk on you? Tell me, advise me I will believe you if you just say I can. Or if you indicate less, I will hold onto my trust and not risk its misuse. Tell me, advise me. You'll see I will listen. Others say I am easy to talk to, yet I feel I hold back so much. Others feel they can trust me, I feel I trust so few. But the words others tell me, I trust implicitly. - lisa
