Why Some Find It Hard To Get Close To Love

10 Years Ago


I wrote a song about love once and one line has echoed in my mind over the years:

"Well I find it hard to get close to love and maybe some day I’ll understand
Why I sit and cry letting time slip by for a faraway man."

It takes courage to love. To open your heart and soul, exposing yourself; especially if you lacked unconditional love as a child. Love is learned, or rather, how to love is learned. It takes trust and belief that you are lovable and worthy of love. Not everyone feels that way. Sometimes, as the song says, it is easier to love from afar when you have a wounded heart afraid to take a chance ... afraid to get hurt yet one more time.

  Well said Felioness, "It takes courage to love; to open your heart and soul, exposing youself." I know! I hide; stay isolated from the world to keep my heart secure. I have never been heartbroken; however, I give my heart to those that I love. It doesn't really matter what they have done, it is easy for me to forgive the act and forget the intent. I truly don't know if that is a blessing or a curse or maybe just both. With that been said, I am always aware of who I love. For love is blind and sometimes can hide the truth inside. I believe that everybody is worthy of love, regardless of who that person is. "It is easier to love from afar when you have a wounded heart afraid to take a chance ... afraid to get hurt yet one more time." It is easier, but is not as satisfies as facing your own fears.
