I had recently been hurt by this man- One- I never should have been seeing in the first place... One- I never should have allowed myself to fall for... One- I never should have given the power to hurt me... That Was Before You! I had told myself I wasn't going to allow anyone else to cross my barrier... I wasn't going to open up to another... I wasn't giving anyone else access to my heart... That Was Before You! I had been trying to build this protective shield around my heart- to keep every man away... I wasn't ever going to subject myself into falling again... I wasn't wanting to meet anyone new... That Was Before You!
