Give me time

 I know at times I may seem a little standoffish,  a loner,  or a little to quiet.  But if you just give me a little time.  I can be one of the best friends you could have.  Due to things that have happened in my life.  I have had to build walls to protect my heart, as well as myself.  I hide away at times, and just shut down.  With the help of God, family, and some true friends.  Those walls are starting to fall, and starting to open up more than I used to.  There is still work to be done.  I am not perfect.  I want to love as well as be loved just like anyone.  So please give me time.  Let me get to know you.  I will come around.
