A broken heart is something even I can__ protect you from. I__e been alone for so long, and believe me, all that does is provide a false sense of security. Being alone doesn__ erase the deep yearning that exists in all of us. We are not solitary creatures. You have to love and open your heart. If not, what is it we are trying to save? When it swallows you whole, remember it means you__e lived.
