Is it just me, or do we all get to the point where we wonder, why try?
Is is just me, or do we get to the point where we expect the failure, rather than the success? That when something good happens it's the the exception and not the rule?
Do you put your heart, and your trust, in someone only to have them smash it to pieces, without a clue as to what they have done.
You try to take all the right precautions not to get hurt, but still the pain comes, and there isn't a damn thing you can do about it.
You hope that 'this one' might see how special you really are, and want to get to know you better, rather than kicking you to the curb as if you were just so much garbage.
You just get to the point that you look in trepidation at each new person that takes an interest, just knowing that somewhere somehow that person is going to hurt you.
Dating, and hooking up, becomes a terrifying prospect at this point.
