This read is familiar. And heart break at its best.
I once met someone who told me about the walls I've built without me realizing it. And the effort this person took to break it down.
I guess the first time I entered a relationship. Like many others. It was one of innocence and naviety. I was straight forward and blunt and tried hard to give in and please. As I moved and grew in my years. I realized juz how much I've lost myself to people I've decided to trust my life and happiness to.
He gave me a good wake up call. In the middle of the night at cck park. Coz we had an argument over someone else and then I started tearing.
It's memories thrown back in my face. And that was the night I started to break the walls down as I opened up more.
I built these walls around me coz I was selfish and didn't wanna get hurt. I don't want people to know me as who I am. Who I was. Yet he did. Underneath all the facade. I was juz a simple girl who wanted nothing more than to be with someone who genuinely cared.
There was something about him that made me trust him. To allow him to knock down the cement. For him to enter.
And perhaps that's the reason out of the few relationships and non-relationships. His departure was the one that hurt the most. Coz he's seen me at my most vulnerable yet accepted me wholly as who I am. And the only one who has crossed those walls.
No. I'm not regretting tearing down the walls. Coz I've learnt. Learnt that coz of him I need to find myself before I can give my heart to someone else. Learnt that my own happiness is greater than those around me. And that I should put myself priority before others.
Thank you *w.
