I like you.
I like you a lot.
But do I want to date you?
I used to.
But now-
I don't.
My reasoning was,
My heart was tired of waiting.
But now it's hit me.
I'm afraid of caring;
Caring more than I want to.
I don't know what it is,
but something inside of me-
Sends a warning through my body.
If I take you,
I will fall in love with you.
And I'm afraid
to let my heart fall that far.
Afraid to let down those walls.
Afraid, of giving up my heart.
Afraid, of always loving you.

love takes so much out of you and yet can fill you in so many ways. I love the way this poem expresses that. Keep writing xoxo

Be careful the words you speak,
make them soft and sweet;
You never know from day to day,
which ones you'll have to eat;

Great peom, it related to the way a lot of us are feeling. Scary but happy times
