Do you remember what I was when we first met? I'd built walls around my heart, gated them, & thrown away the key. I had been hurt, I told you from the beginning. I'd been used, tricked, played with, but most of all, hurt. I thought it best to never fall in love again.
So I locked my heart.
You figured it out quite soon. I said dont fall in love with me. I cannot fall in love with you. I wont. Im too hurt, too damaged, too afraid to go through all of this once more. I'd decided love was just a scam. So we became friends. That was okay with me, & with you. It was all nice, comforting and I let myself trust you. You would listen to me for hours, as we talked about everything & nothing. You learned why I wasnt willing to let anyone love me, though you said you would never do that kind of a thing to me, I wasnt ready to trust you to test it out. I kept my walls intact even when I started remembering where I'd thrown the key. It was the only way to keep myself from falling in love. But then something happened. I woke up three weeks ago & realised that I love you. And you said you love me, you cannot promise we will be forever but you can promise not to hurt me. I believed you. I still didnt realize how I'd come to love you, how you came to find the key to my heart. Now I know. You didnt find the key. You broke into my heart, & I let you.
Just dont break my heart.
