Love is always a risk.
The chances of getting your heart broken
are extremely high.
And that kind of heartbreak
is the most painful.
It’s terrifying, really.
And I had gotten used to
the walls I had built.
I had gotten used to
being on my own.
I know I’ve grown cold
as a way to protect myself,
because I am so scared
of feeling that pain again.
But you, my darling,
are entirely worth the risk.
You never tried to break down my walls.
You just waited patiently
until I was ready to let you in
and never asked for anything in return.
Thank you.
