New Walks of Life

The opposite of hate

There's something I should tell you
but I don't know how to put this...
I guess the most simple way is...
I love you.

I've known for a while,
I guess it just scares me,
to have such intense feelings for someone.

But I know without a doubt
because I constantly catch myself thinking
about being with you forever,
whatever it is that forever holds.

I think you feel the same,
I feel you feel the same
because you and I are connected
in a whole other level.

Please tell me you feel the same.
No. Don't...
The first time I fell in love,
I rushed in way too fast
and it ruined everything.

It was such a shock
to get told that I was wrong
for having these crazy feelings...
I think I went insane.

That's when I started
developing mental problems
but my parents said not to worry,
that it would pass if I was strong.

I had to see the school counselor
because I said I wanted to die,
living in a world like this,
where love is all wrong.

So you should take your time,
there's no need to rush in
because I know it's a little overwhelming
and sometimes hard to develop love
again.

I just want you to know that I'll always love you
and I'll always care for you and be there
because I know how it feels...
when love is one sided.

Just know my love is true
and pure in its intent.
It does not waver or ask why,
it's just been looking for a companion
to share this never ending ride with.

I know you need time,
I know you need space
and please, don't say it till you mean it,
because otherwise, you might go crazy too.
