The One Thing You Took From Me

I've broken our agreement by getting too attached I let myself fall deeper, thinking we were a perfect match And you said to push aside my fears & do what I did not dare Tell you the truth -- what I really want -- put myself out there So in tears, I fell beside you; I told you "I'm your girl-- And you're the one, the guy I choose of all those in this world" With those caring eyes, you looked at me, glad you knew the truth You said "I'm sorry, girl, I think your sweet, but I'm still much in my youth" And now, I sit here in a puddle of emotions as you part You left all that was inside me, except one, you took--my heart

We have to guard our hearts....this happens so many times, both with males, and females...loved this write, it may open some eyes as to how easy it is to fall in love, and it may be one sided....always, Christy
