The poem is written about a girl who lost her will to trust after a big dispute between her

and her mother, but then regains it when she met a special someone who guided her through the situation. Written in second person because of the usage of words such as well and Im, the poem is told from the perspective of another character who happens to be the poet himself. He starts off reminding her of a trust exercise that people do, then he took her back into the past to the time of the quarrel. As the reader, we arent told clearly the relationship between the two characters because we play an anonymous role in the poem, from the poets word choices though we might conclude that they share a close relationship, such as husband and wife. From the past, his thoughts traveled back to the present where his tone changed from normal and calm to more caring and concern when he speaks of how she should Retrace that walk towards the garden gate or to open up again and forgive, let the past be the past.
