"Havin been thru a long relationship of abuse to leave with two kids who are just as damaged as I. Then meet someone years later who treats you in a way you never have experienced, that you feel safe and respected enough to let down the guard that protects your fragile heart. Believing that they want to be a friend and who knows maybe even a lover. Texts calling you lover and hotty and how great you are. Having him hold you and feel safe for the first time in a long long time. Then to have that special someone get scared because you come to see that he's just as damaged as you are. Having all his insecurities from past relationships put onto you when you show him over and over again that you;re not like the others. who have hurt him. To be now left feeling numb with disgust at yourself for letting down the guard and thinking that maybe he was the one for you. Then when you ask for clarification of the relationship he calls it all off killing me softly with pain for him."
