I am a sensitive soul.
Perhaps too much for a man.
I sigh at beauty. I am enchanted by charm. I can get lost in a look.
I cry at sad movies, often glad of the dark.
I am a romantic, Sad songs in my ear buds. Black and white films in the winter. Meetings in steamy-window bookshop cafes. Walks by the swan-gliding river. Dinner in the flickering light of whispering candles.
A message on my phone that ends in a kiss.
I am a dreamer. A poet. Someone who will never forget the press of her lips.
And sometimes, only sometimes, I am a fool.
Yet for all that, if I am hurt, I can become as hard and as cold as a Siberian frost.
And the doors to my heart
Slam
Shut.

I wrote this a year ago. I am sure there were reasons at the time. I have not changed. It is simply the way I am.

My heart does the same thing… I will love and adore until I’m betrayed or hurt… Then that’s it…

Luckily I have only experienced the gentle soul and sensitive poet, and I am completely lost in him. 💋

If he is fooling me, then a fool I will happily be. Just don’t ever leave me searching for his beautiful words. 💋

Hmmm.. That was strange. Now it’s gone. I probably opened up some type of virus with my luck.

This is beautiful!
We love until we are betrayed. Then the walls go up again. I live in hope that my walls will come down when someone who is worthy will climb them and enter my heart.

There are many who feel the same. It is how one deals once the thaw has set in and the door opens once again to new possibilities.
