They said, it's okay to trust
They said, it's okay to feel
They said, it's okay to open your heart
Let someone in, they said
You never know, they said.
I was hesitant at first
I could not do all that
Trust, feel, open my heart, let someone in
That is just creating vulnerability on my side
So I said, I can't do that
I said, I can't let anyone in
I said, I can't trust anyone
I said, I can't let myself feel anything for anyone
I don't want to be vulnerable.
It's okay, they said
We will not hurt you, they said
We will not betray your trust, they said
We will not take advantage of your feelings, they said
And I gave in, trusted, felt, let them in.
Now I sit here wondering and regretting why I didn't follow my instinct and stuck to my guts..
