I Let You In



You're the only one I ever let inside.
Secrets of my soul
with you I did confide.

You're the only one I ever let intern.
Assets of my heart
with you I did discern.

You're the only one I ever let eschew.
Demons of my mind
with you I did subdue.

You're the only one I ever let connect.
Fervors of my flesh
with you I did perfect.

You're the only one I ever let transcend.
Portraits of my love
with you I did attend.
