After being hurt so much, it's hard to trust that much again. It's hard to open up to people and become vulnerable to that much pain again. Sometimes, we appear to be heartless. But hey, we're only protecting ourselves. Our hearts seem so fragile; we think it might completely break the next time around.
Time passes by and we gradually learn to trust again. Though still secretly scared for the possibility of pain, we become more open and, maybe someday, less fearful.
