Standing on the beach, feeling the breeze in my hair, completely heartbroken, I decided to never love again. The pain was so deep I couldn't bear the thought of being hurt again. Don was my one true love; however, he broke our engagement along with my heart.
I never expected the perfect man to enter my life so soon. I desperately tried to avoid him by running away. Jack was old-fashioned and spoke from his heart. His family was wonderful and caring, I was intrigued by all of this; however, still very skeptical.
Jack always said and did the right things and appeared to be sincere. He was raised with morals and high standards. I wasn't trying to play hard to get. I was so scared to give in to love.
In spite of others warning me to be careful of Jack, I gave in and let my guard down. Eventually I found myself falling for what I thought was the man of my dreams.
I remember my mother telling me, "If it sounds too good to be true, it mostly likely isn't."
I blocked my mother's words and fell head over heels in love with Jack.
Hindsight is a great word we all live one time or another.
