Safe With Me

Carl S. Avery once said, ~Love enables you to put your deepest feelings and fears in the palm of your partner's hand, knowing they will be handled with care.~ As said before, love enables you to put your deepest feelings and fears in the palm of your partner's hand. Thinking about it, when it comes to love or true love for that matter it can be quite difficult to place your heart, so to speak, in someone else's hand even if that particular guy/girl has the same mutual feelings and fears as you do. For it's a tough situation indeed to just hand over what each of us metaphorically hold tightly within our heart because in the back of our mind there is the possibility it won't be handled carefully to where you're left holding the crushed remnants of what was true happiness.

Without a doubt, one of the most important aspects of a loving relationship is to have someone who can most definitely carefully handle with care in their capable hands all that you're thinking, feelings, and are sorely afraid of in matters of the heart. Trust contentment, honesty, caring, respect, commitment, understanding, happiness, faith, honor, loyalty, worry, doubt, fear, frustration, disappointment, anger, bitterness, confusion, etc. are just a number of things that a person who is in love can at time be weary of placing in a potential and/or significant other's hand. Why? Essentially, past relationship experience has taught him/her that when it comes to opening yourself up emotionally, mentally, and physically their heart will end up being crushed in the palm of a guy's/girl's hand.

If you think about it, there are those out there who know all too well of having their feelings and fears along with the emotions associated with it crushed in the hand of a past relationship. Its a sad state of affairs when women, as well as men, feel as if their entire being has been crushed to the point where all that you shared with him/her is completely thrown back at your face. In a sense, having those crushed remnants of what was in your heart thrown back at you can be, in some aspect, like a hard slap right across the face with the same hand that you thought would keep your heart safe leaving you to deal with the sting of utter heartbreak. Let me tell you something, for those who have felt or are currently feeling it the sting will go away as it just takes time.

Let me ask you this questions to those who are in a potential and/or significant relationship, have you placed your heart in his/her hand and fully entrusted him/her to take care of it knowing that he/she may not only crush it but drop it on the ground in order to stomp all over it but chooses not to? Hey, it's what relationships are all about as the concerns you have within your heart will always be taken care of as best they possibly can and will not be intentionally dropped by your partner in order to hurt you. What it primarily comes down to is finding/meeting the right guy/girl who will hold your heart in the safety of their hand and in turn he/she will entrust his/her heart in yours, which is considerably rare to find because of how incredibly selfish certain guys/girls are these days.

In retrospect, every person wants to feel secure in the fact that their feelings and fears will always be in good hands with someone they love. Unfortunately, that isn't the case as there are people out there who don't know how to hold a person's heart causing one to constantly be at the ready in case they have to catch what slips through their fingers, which can be mentally and emotionally tiring. For a certain number of people they have found/are finding themselves in this type of situation where they don't feel that innate security in a partner who is able to safely hold their feelings and fears within heart and never drop it. In the end, to those of you who are single you'll eventually meet your trusted partner who'll reach out saying to you put your heart in my hand and it will be safe with me.
