breaking down walls

when you grow up, you start building walls around you. you put one brick at a time, until you've built walls high enough and thick enough for you to protect yourself.

you hope that one day a person will come and tear down those walls so that you're living happily ever after. but that's not true.

one day someone will come along. they try to break down those walls. and one day someone succeeds. they break you're walls leaving you vulnerable. and then they leave.

they don't try to build it back for you. they don't help you put the walls back one by one. they just break it and leave. then anything can get to you. they don't realize that one by one you're the one that has to build your walls back up. this time though, you'll add an extra brick. an extra wall. just so that the same person can't break through.

you keep on hoping that the person who breaks your wall will be the one. more often than not, he's not the one. but you still do it. you still allow your walls to be broken down. you still hope that he is the one.

all you can do is wait. and rebuild. one brick at a time.
