Oh, Mind, why are you afraid of trusting others?
Why do you find it hard to believe in another?
Is it really that hard to find another to love her?
❀
Yes, Heart, it is.
It hurts to love.
It hurts to trust.
It hurts.
And because it hurts, I've become more harder to hurt.
I don't trust like I used to.
I don't fall as fast as I used to.
I'm not the same.
I've learned more, I've grown, I've progressed, but most of all I've regretted.
❀
Oh, Mind, keep up with that, and you'll be lonely all your life.
There's still good in people, but you won't find out,
When you've barricaded your feelings.
Pretending it doesn't hurt, pretending you don't care.
Pretending is the reason we don't know when something is real anymore.
People smile when they aren't happy, people lie when they don't want to tell the truth, people hide when they can't escape, people pretend, and that's why we don't understand each other anymore.
❀
You've learned quite a bit, heart.
I'm impressed.
