you've been lonely too long.

You are aware of your walls.
Your defenses.
And oh, I know how you yearn for them to be burnt down.
Let me in.
I won't hurt you.

You say you've been lonely so long you don't know how you couldn't be.
You say you're so afraid to fall because you don't want to get hurt.

Realize that I won't hurt you.

It's time to take a risk.
You'll regret it if you don't.

I see you contemplating on the inside.
Deep down, you already know the answer.
I can see it in your eyes, your actions.
But your mind won't let you.
And that's your problem.
You've told me that you've trained yourself to think with your mind instead of your heart.
But your mind can't comprehend love and relationships.
So turn your heart back on and you will find the answer.

Because when you think logically, you realize how forbidden our love is, just like you said.
You think of the time that would be wasted if we didn't end up together.
You think of the opportunity cost.
You think of this all as if us girls are statistics on a page and you're seeing which one has the better sum.
The one who can produce the best product.


I'm falling for you.
I know it without a doubt.
I'm scared as well.
I have many concerns that I have thought of in my mind.
But I'm going to let myself fall.
Because, for you, it's worth the risk.
Of getting my heart broken.
Of listening to sad songs for a month and eating too much chocolate.
It's so worth it because you are what I want.
And if I fail, so be it.
I think that's what is so beautiful about it all.
I'm willing to be in the depths of despair for the possibility that you might pick me.
