We all know that one girl who is never in a relationship and may seem like she thinks she is to good to date anyone she knows. She snarls her nose at the sight of happy couples and hates the Valentine's Day aisle at Wal-Mart more than anything in this world. People call her bitter, sarcastic, rude, and say she's only like that because she's single. But they're wrong. She's like that because she chooses to be. She chooses to not let people in because once she let the wrong person in and it ruined her. She chooses to guard her heart.
Above all else, guard your heart, for everything you do flows from it. - Proverbs 4:23
She doesn't mean to push you away, just like you don't mean to overstep your boundaries with her. She doesn't mean to make you feel untrusted because she doesn't share everything with you. She just prefers to deal with things on her own from time to time. She doesn't mean to make you feel like she doesn't want you around, because she does. She just has a weird way of showing it. She isn't scared of you. She's scared of what you can do to her. She can be awkward and very sarcastic because that's a defense mechanism that she has learned works for her. She wants to be carefree, but she's an over thinker. Because one time she thought too little, and she got hurt. You may say she's over dramatic and high maintenance, when really all it takes is very small things to make her happy. She'll surprise you with how laid back she can be, but that is because she doesn't expect anything. She's a ball of confusion because she doesn't understand herself at times. You may call her dramatic or difficult, but that's because once she wasn't difficult enough and got blindsided.
She decided to guard her heart with everything she had. She is actually a very special, one of a kind girl. She will do anything you ask of her, but she has to see your loyalty first. She takes patience, consistency, and dedication. If she decides to let you in, to see the vulnerable sides of her, then don't screw that up. It took a lot of guts for her to allow you a spot in her heart. She doesn't need you because she stopped needing people a long time ago, she wants you. Never take that for granted.
