Falling for you Quote by Anonymous
“You ask why I keep my guards up, I say to keep away the untrustworthy, you ask why I don't show my feelings, because I know what it is like to give your heart to somebody that you thought care, respected, honored, LOVED you, just to find out their love wasn't true, you ask why I ignore every guy that comes my way, because none have proving that their any different then the rest that comes to my face, you ask why it so hard for me to trust, because every time I trust, someone has to lie, you ask why I don't love, because love hurts and I'm not looking for pain. You ask to be the one who changes my mind, I turn around just to face you and realize you might just be the one who changes my life.”
