Layers

You enclosed your heart with a thick layer of protection...no one knows where you found it...no one knows where to get them. Only you.

You thought, you could add another one more layer, just to be safe. Through this, you said, anyone can't just pass through it and hurt your heart again...

Its too safe here. You whispered. As if whispering to a friend and assuring him: no one can harm you now.

You were so hurt the last time that you became so scared of being vulnerable again...you don't wanna be on that place again...to that dark place. It took you a long time to be free of the pain and now that you are, you wanna be protected at all cost.

Years have passed and you became comfortable wearing these layers inside your heart.

In fact you forgot its there all along...

You missed being loved...

You found a special someone...

But by loving someone, you need to remove these layers that you're wearing for such a long time...

You don't know how...

You are scared to be without it.

He offered. You let him. One layer. Just one layer at first you said.

But you felt so different without it...

It became your skin...it became a part of you...you felt so naked and cold...

You turned around...took a deep breath

And put it back again...
