The truth was that ten years ago everyone said he was a womanizer.  At that time she listened to everyone and not to her heart.  Her heart said, give him a chance but she didn’t and she ran.  She felt she was not ready for him because she was afraid of being hurt again.  She had recently escaped from a bad relationship and could not face being hurt again.  What she didn’t realize was that she hurt him.  And when she looked into his eyes she saw through to his heart... to the pain he felt.  Wishing that she could have taken it back she just had to walk away once again.  If she had the chance to apologize she would have said:

"Because I cannot change the past I would want to say goodbye to misunderstandings and hello to new beginnings.  Let’s take each day as if it were our last days on this earth. Let go of inhibitions and just follow our hearts because we only have one life to live and now it’s our chance to live it.”
