Beginning Again

Into the love abyss she went
But this time with great trepidation on her part
As she had stood on the side-lines
For far too long
Too scared to test the water
As the fear of being burnt again was in the back of her mind
She would tread cautiously now
and not let her guard down quite so easily
She was so much more resilient now
Her heart and her soul were her biggest gifts... And she would bestow them to the right man when the time came..
As however long it took
She would wait for him...

An age-old story of every heart to search for completion. Pain and redemption is universal. I want to hug her and say it will be OK. Nobody begins at the beginning, we all arrive in the middle and the love we search for is sometimes our own. Great read for the romantic and there is some of that in all of us.
