I’d once told myself to give up love. But
what would you do if it comes knocking on your door? You either
have to accept or reject…can never be both. For
me it did come and knock on my cold steel door. The loudness of the
knocking grew fainter over time. When I decided to check on it, no
one was there, instead, he/she went knocking on someone else’s
door. I might be ignorant or plain stupid back then. So, will there
be a next time?....coz I’ve ripped the steel door apart 
If you are
always making bad judgment and living in the past, like what you
did when your previous experience caused you to 'give up love' and
you are now regretting like hell - I really suggest you start
picking up the pieces and learn to look forward.
It's not really about 'the next
time' - the problem is: would you even recognize when the
opportunity comes? Also, will you still continue to cry over spill
milk and screw up your 'next time?’ And then start frantically pray
for the ‘next next time?’ 
Cheers
