Protective…?

Today, I was in a room full of people I met a year ago

We spent a couple of hours in the same room having lunch

A lot had happened before meeting them

A lot has happened since

That included meeting an individual my instincts say is trouble

The people in this room have met this individual

Most of them would swear that this individual was someone they’d trust explicitly

But after parting ways, I became protective

The majority of people in that room today are some of the sweetest people I’ve met

And some of the most trusting people you’ll ever meet

Which caused some concern on my part

All because of an individual I don’t trust

But they do

I don’t want to see any of them hurt

Especially by him

I have no way of proving that this one individual isn’t who he says he is

That I suspect he’s a wolf in sheep’s clothing

I don’t know what he’s hiding

But something is definitely off

And I don’t want any of the people I had lunch with today to be hurt by him

Just because they saw the good in him

And it overshadowed the bad

So I walked away feeling protective

He can keep trying to win me over

But I become uncomfortable the second he walks in the room

I saw what slick and sly did the first time

And I don’t him to hurt anyone in that room
