Why can't I trust these feelings?
That everything will be fine?
Why can't I hope that things will for once work out?
I know I'm childish,
to hold onto the ground when I could be soaring in the air,
but I need a safety net.
I need to make sure that I won't get hurt.
I've tasted unrequited love once before,
and oh how bittersweet it was.
It followed me for years,
and only now has faded.
So please allow me to keep this secret,
to not let the flames ignite.
Once that happens,
all stability will be lost.
