On a Saturday night after a great date, Faith told me she loved me.

We’d only dated for a week, so it was unexpected but wonderful.

As a guy who hadn’t been with a woman for over two years, I felt Faith was like a gift from God to me.

But the next day she changed her mind, left me, and I never heard from her again.

After that, I learned to guard my heart as though it were a rare and precious treasure.
