How Did You Do It?

How did you do it?

It was solid, strong

Unbreakable

No one had been able to make it crumble

But somehow you did

How did you do it?

I cherished it, kept it close to me

It was a part of me

I was safe, protected

But somehow you changed me

How did you do it?

Was it your way with words?

Oh, how they flow so gently in the air,

Like the warm wind on a beautiful April day

I never knew it could be done

But somehow you proved me wrong

How did you tear down the wall around my heart?

You were swift, sneaky even

I fell for you, and I fell hard

I didn't even know it at the time

But somehow you did

How did make me love you so easily?

How did it happen so fast?

How will I ever build my wall again?

I bet that, somehow, you know the answers.

You always do.
