Second Chances

When you get hurt, you always tell yourself it will never happen again. The person who hurt you will never ever be given the chance to get to your life again and give you more pain that what you have experienced.

But when the time comes that he will return and ask for second chances, all the memories, the happiness he brought, and the emotions you feel for him would come back and cloud your mind as if telling you to forget that he hurt you and accept him back into your life. It’s as if leaving you no choice but to give him a second chance.

But second chances are never like the first experiences. A lot of things change. Your guard is up, your trust is broken, and then in the long run you realize you’re never as happy as before because every minute scares you that you might get hurt again.

So sometimes I ask, “Why do people give second chances? Is it really worth it, or they just didn’t want to accept that they’ve been made a fool once?” Or maybe it’s really love. Because it’s given that love conquers all, even the pain, the scar, and the fear of getting hurt again.
