Sometimes I wish there was a heartbreak deep enough to change me. Like I finally met my match that would force me to be a little more protected and guarded. Someone who would hurt me so badly I’d learn to be a little more careful when it comes to matters of the heart.
I always swear when I’m holding back tears and hurt yet again, ‘next time I won’t let someone in so easily. I won’t give them my all.’
I’ll invest just a little bit and play that game you’re supposed to, caring but pretending you don’t. Seeing a message but not answering. Making them wonder how I feel.
If feelings were like a deck of cards and I’d have to keep a straight poker face, I’d lose every time. Even when I think I’m being coy and clever once my heart decides that’s it.
I don’t seem to change.

When love happens, there is no controlling it, or at least not for me.
We can actually be love..

Thank you so much @aprilpeerless.

if only we could force ourselves to meet those whom we need to change and recognize it when it happens. so many times we don't recognize it until so many years later - it takes a lifetime to understand the lessons life was so graciously teaching us.

You are definitely correct @itinerantartist
