on my-own and not loving it

people say that being alone for a while is a good thing, but i don't think it is for me. i am the kind of person who wants to share her heart with someone everyday and every night. i want to be wanted and i want to be loved. i think every woman wants the same thing from the right man. i know that i am loved by friends, family and god, but being loved by that one special man can just make life soo much better. i have been loved like that before and i have loved like that also and i must say that i miss it so much. i have really been hurt and i don't ever want to feel that kind of pain again. that is why i keep my heart closed until i can find or i know that i can trust that person with all i have. i know that might sound cold but i am a young woman who has been damaged and i don't want that to ever happen a again.
my heart is still open to the possibility to love, but the man just had to prove him self to me. i am bruised but i am not broken and think that a good thing. i am not looking for a man to fix me, but i am looking for one to help me believe in love again. i know that i will love again and i know that the pain from the past will go away i just have to take a chance and pray that i want get hurt. i have to pick myself up and try again, because if i don't i might just miss out on true love that is right in front of my face.
wish me luck-xoxoxo
