Life has gotten to a point
Where I've begun to fear the concept
of love.
It's funny, really
how it only took
a single painful regret
to destroy my
once hopeful perspective
on the topic of love.
And that is why I'm terrified
of getting too close to you.
You, someone so worthy
of taking up so much space
in my mind.
You, someone who shines
so brightly in my eyes
that I'm scared I'll go blind.
How is it that you've managed to
get so far
into my mind
my heart
even after telling myself
I didn't want this?
But I feel so
comfortable and warm
accepted
in a way she never even
tried
to make me feel.
In a way nobody
in my whole life
was able to make me feel.
And that terrifies me.
I'm not sure what I must have done in my previous life
To deserve someone like you
Who does so much
And never takes back.
And you just keep going and it feels like
I'll never catch up.
The one thing I might be more afraid of than getting hurt
is hurting you.
