And maybe these walls protect you from heartbreak and disappointment.
Maybe they keep you guarded and practical but they dont make you feel alive.
You shouldnt believe their sweet little lies until they prove that they mean it.
You shouldnt imagine a relationship with them unless you know exactly what theyre looking for.
You shouldnt share your innermost secrets unless you know that they plan on staying in your life.
You shouldnt be vulnerable until you know they care.
Your walls are hight because youve been that person before.
It wasnt enough to make them stay.
It wasnt enough for them to realize that maybe your love was truly the real one.
Sharon Garcia
The one theyll always search for but never find.
The one theyll regret losing in ten years but by then it will be too late for you.
The love they gave up on because they thought they could easily replace it.
Your walls are high because youre tired.
Tired of believing and giving and following your heart only to end up hurt or alone.
Youre tired of trying to mend your heart with people who only break it.
Youre tired of opening up only to get rejected.
Youre tired of thinking that this time it will be different only to be more of the same.
So you keep building these walls.
You keep people at arms length.
You become emotionally unavailable when you like someone.
Youd rather let that person go instead of letting them in because itssaferthis way.
This is how you protect your heart.
This is you how you dont get hurt.
You stopped giving chances as you built your walls higher brick by brick.
These walls tell you not to make the first move.
They tell you to curb your excitement.
They tell you to take your time responding to them.
They tell you that you should always have the upper hand.
They tell you that theyre not genuine.
They tell you people will eventually leave you.
They tell that youre better off alone.
They tell you that you need a lot of more proof and actions before you trust someone.
They tell you that people shouldearnyour love before you decide to give them your heart.
They tell you not tofeel.They tell you not to believe.
And maybe these walls protect you from heartbreak and disappointment.
Sometimes people dont understand why we built our walls so high.
So much to feel.
So much to love.
