My Reasons

All my life,
I've been preparing myself,
For success,
Always striving to do my best,
No distractions,
Interruptions,
Always keeping my focus,
Then you come along,
Tried to sweep me off my feet,
I'm sorry but it's not that easy.

Don't you know,
That it took time,
To build my defences up this high,
To be torn down,
With just one look,
I'm sorry but that's not enough,

I may be cold,
I might be heartless,
But at least I have my Independance,
I may be selfish,
I might not care,
But at least I know I'll always be here,
I may be harsh,
I may be coarse,
But at least I have my reasons,
And i know,
All I need,
To get me through...

Is my reasons.
