The Secret Garden of his Heart

I've built walls around my heart, a fortress of guarded emotions. Love has always left me broken, a casualty of fleeting affections and shattered promises. I've sworn off falling for anyone, tired of being the one left behind, the one who always loses. But then he came along, a quiet observer, a boy who prefers the company of his own thoughts. He's a secret garden, a world of emotions hidden behind a wall of silence. I see the beauty beneath his reserved exterior, a gentle soul with a heart that beats with a hidden passion. He's the one who makes me feel safe, the one who sees the real me, the one who makes me believe in love again.
