Why am I afraid of something that millions upon millions of people feel?
I am afraid of falling in love with another person.
I dream about it, think about it, maybe even fantasize about what my future may hold,
but I am scared.
Scared of having my heart broken into millions of pieces, scattered across the hemispheres of our planet
Scared of not being able to comfort my lover when times of distress crash upon us, as they do to all
Scared of having a relationship that tastes of stale and stagnant wind, one that doesn't flow, no matter how much momentum you wish to be present
I asked myself: "Is something you don't know in entirety something you fear? Or is the fear characterized by the void of not knowing?"
One day, I will know the feeling of seeing the universe in the eyes of someone I'm fortunate to call my own..
But I wouldn't know, for that day is not something I can call mine.
