cautionary tale

and sometimes it's hard to say how i feel because i'm scared no one cares enough to listen,
so if i tell you what goes on inside my head,
you should know it means a lot.
not everyone knows me beyond a smile and a hello,
neither should they.
i'm scared to let people into who i really am, because breaking down walls are so much harder when you know the ones who do it could hurt you.
so if i let you,
you should know it means i love you.
and if i tell you i love you, you should know that it takes everything in me not to throw up after.
because i am most scared of admitting how I feel to deaf ears who'd rather run into the arms of someone else.
so if i tell you i love you
it is because i mean it.
you should know that i do nothing just because it feels right in the moment.
if i tell you these things,
it is because i see a forever in you.
don't make me think twice.
