I never have a problem

With people in my life.

I just don't let them in from

The start.

Arm's distance

Has always worked,

It saves the heartache

And the emotional

Instability.

It hurts,

No matter what you say

The words just get

In the proverbial way.

So now what

Do you have to say?

It's never a problem

If you don't share

All of your heart

From the very start.
