i never used to be able to understand how someone could be afraid

i never used to be able to understand how someone could be afraid to show someone that they care about them. The whole concept didn't make any sense to me. Now I understand it a little too well. When you care about someone, you give them the chance to hurt you. After the way you played with my head, I couldn't stand to get hurt again. I can't get too close. I'm afraid to care. I'm afraid to feel.
