Treacherous Fear of Falling In Love

My experience with pain changed my perception of love, trust, and respect. The one person I thought would never become my enemy did. The one person that loved every part of me whether it was good or bad left me out here alone. I was so devastated that words couldn't express my pain. I felt like I'll never understand the true definition of love and loyalty anymore. Because I couldn't wrap my head around how everything that seemed so real can become so questionable. I know I'm not the only person that experienced that type of betrayal. I wasn't ready to move on because the feeling he gave me could never be replaced. But you'll be surprised how people change once they see how happy you are or better yet how greed can make a person do something to only later regret. This brings me to how I can trust my heart to recognize real love and know that it's real; when I'm still holding onto past hurts and pains plus dealing with other problems. I understand that it's easy to fall in love with what you can see but what about the things that you can't see? Will you still love that person the same way after finding out things about them that you never knew? I'm still trying to figure that one out myself.
