You say that you want the chance to know me, to step beyond the walls I’ve built to protect my heart, but that’s a big step for me.
I’ve had my heart broken more times than I can count and I promised myself long ago that I would always be careful who I let in, so if I choose to let you in, don’t break anything...like my heart.
Don’t betray my trust.
Don’t disrespect me.
Don’t take me for granted.
Maybe those things sound insignificant to you, but they’re very important to me, because I’ve been in a relationship where I didn’t have those things and it hurt...a lot.
My walls are high for a reason, and if you choose to truly connect with me, know that my love, my trust and my heart must be earned..
And I don’t give those things lightly.
Know that I’m a complex person with a sometimes challenging demeanor, but it’s just because I’ve put myself back together again after falling apart and I’m stronger for it..
Never assume you know who I am or what I’m about until you truly make the effort to get to know me.
I don’t give just anyone access to my soul, so tread carefully and be gentle, for my heart and depths can be fragile at times..
I’m willing to give you the chance to understand me, if you choose, but it’s not lightly that I do so and it has conditions.
Be honest, be true and always be transparent.
I don’t play games and I don’t waste time trying to guess intentions.
So, this is your chance to step up and venture past my walls to finally unravel the mysteries behind my eyes..or to walk away if your intentions aren’t honorable.
This is who I am and what I want, so if you choose to take my hand and walk with me, do so with care.
If I’m letting you in, be gentle with my heart.
I’m trusting you with so much..
Most of all,
Not to break anything.
I know I’m worth that much and more.
The question is..
Do you think so too??
