I have given a lot of things to a lot of different people. My time, my tallents, my stories, my smile, even my tears.
But there is one thing that I have always guarded. Something I've kept hidden. And something I've been afraid for someone to really get to know. I don't want to get hurt. And I don't want to bleed out. I don't want to be left a shell of myself. Again. This time it will be a different reason. But I'm still afraid. I don't want to give it up.
I don't want to give up control.
Control of my heart.
But I've heard that love is worth it. So, I'm going to try.
I'm going to try.
I'm going to try.
Try.
Try.
