It left my heart traumatized that everytime I see love approaching, I tend to turn the other way. So afraid that if I let it inside, it'll just turn out like the first time.

This doubt— this is my reason for building these walls around my heart. So that I may keep entrusting myself to someone. Until I'm sure that it's me, my soul —that is being loved. Truly being loved.
