Why

I needed to think if really you would be worth it,
If breaking the walls I had built up for many years was worth it.
I needed to think if I would be able to manage to walk if you eventually walked away,
I wanted to know if I can manage having my heart torn apart by you.
I needed to think if having you would be a blessing or a burden I will carry.
I needed to know if there is any guarantee that I will be okay After, I needed to be assured that my heart will still be okay even when you walk away.
Rather than telling you that I needed time to think, I simply said no because it was so much easier at that point.
I know that matters that involve the heart and feelings have no assurance,
It's all a gamble, you play and just hope that it works out.
You can have all your cards on the table and be all in only to realize that another gives only crumbs.
You can restrict yourself only to regret not giving it all when you had the chance.
Matters of the heart aren't easy, they can make you or break you
Many say it's best to not to cash it all  because you may go back home broke, but I believe we have no control over our hearts, we fall gradually and all in.
You may get broken but time and love heals with due time
