Meaning, they are safe with them. They won’t get hurt, they are too strong for that.
But what they don’t see is that love sneaks up on them, blinds them and they end up getting hurt either way.
Independent women promise themselves they won’t become the girl who is waiting by the phone, waiting for him to call her back.
They promise themselves they won’t wait around or suffer for anyone.
So they tend not to get too close to anyone. They’ve all done this in the past and it didn’t end well. It ended with them getting terribly hurt.
