being tied down again terrifies me. i always knew what i wanted, a serious relationship, none of the stuff people my age do, from one relationship to the next. then, you came along and showed me true love. i was happier than i have been in a long time and i truly did love you. but, the time came when we had to end things, and we both walked away even more broken than before. a broken heart is the worst pain, because there's no way to fix it. the memories and the love and the break up stay with you forever. i know if i ever had to feel that way, it would take me down. so, anytime anyone tries to get close to me, i push them away. it's lonely, yes, and some may even call it ignorant, but it keeps my heart from being torn in pieces yet again.
