“Yeah I'm ready to feel now No longer am afraid of the fall down
It must be time to move on now Without the fear of how it might end
I guess I'm ready to love again”-Lady Antebellum
Those lyrics were my mantra just three short months ago. And, well, I stepped out, took the risk, was ready to move on without the fear of how it might end…but did I really?
Love. Yes. It is worth the risk, but only when it is real. It is worth the risk when the feeling is mutual, when two hearts are beating in sync. Those initial feelings of love—how amazing! There’s nothing quite like those initial feelings and intertwining of two single hearts.
Love. Nothing ventured, nothing gained. My heart got chipped, not broken. Do I have resentment? Yes, I have a little, because I believed in something special. I believed in something real. I was naïve enough to believe that feelings were mutual.
Here’s my confession: I grew from that experience, and I think that is the most important thing. I have complete faith that I will love again…maybe not tomorrow, but one day…and I know it will be when the time is exactly right. Love, true love, is worth it…and it is worth the wait. And tonight, I leave you with these thoughts additional words from Lady Antebellum.
“Seems I was walking in the wrong direction. I barely recognize my own reflection. Oh, scared of love but scared of life alone. Seems I've been playing on the safe side baby. Building walls around my heart to save me. Oh, but its time for me to let it go”
And so, Mr. Right. I’m looking forward to meeting you, but only when the time is right.

You say love is worth the risk "when it is real." and "when the feeling is mutual." Maybe the feeling was mutual. Things change and some people are not willing to make it work or take that extra step. However, every day we love someone or are in love is a special one. It's a time we can share our life with that someone special. Yes, it hurts when that trust is broken, but like you say nothing ventured, nothing gained.
