He’s Guarding His Heart

To my right on the Soundcloud music widget a guy is singing about guarding his heart.

And he has a great voice as well.

And I love that indie song.

And the sage advice.

If only I had taken his advice on occasions when I didn’t guard my heart well enough.

If only I hadn’t been like that saying, “Fools rush in.”

But, alas, despite some of those unguarded, vulnerable heart decisions,

if I could go back in time, I probably wouldn’t guard my heart any better.

Looking back, I really don’t regret the times and the heartaches I had from not guarding my heart well.

Like the saying, “It is better to have loved and lost,” I really don’t regret any of those unguarded heart decisions.

In the greater scheme of things and life and death matters, romantic mistakes and broken hearts are really insignificant to me now, and I like that my heart has become strengthened and battle hardened.

And I think it’s better to take a chance on love, to, as the saying goes, throw caution to the winds, when like a miracle, into your lonely life a chance for love comes in.
