The Guarded Heart

I think that every girl's heart is guarded, whether heavily guarded with chains and guards, or just lightly guarded with only a few guards. Either way, our hearts are precious to us and we fear having them broken. I must say that my heart is one of the medium to heavily guarded, with both chains and guards. With every new guy I meet, whether friend or dating material, one of my guard goes on vacation. I get excited at the possibility of finding someone special. However, the closer they get to me and the increased possibility of more than a friendship, the guard gets sent back on duty, and back-up may be called in.
A wise person once told me..."Its better to start getting your heart broken when you are younger. If you start when you are older, it sucks much worse." I think I agree. The older you are, I think the more you are searching for that certain someone, and with a broken heart, comes the realization, that you may never find them.
Thankfully, I have never suffered from a broken heart, but have watched other people suffer, and can just imagine how it feels. I have decided to unguard my heart so heavily. When a guard goes on holidays, I plan to fire him instead, with no replacement. Slowly and surely, my heart will be open enough to let someone in, and I just pray, they won't break it!
