i'm afraid to be in love. i'm afraid to be in love because i've never been in love before. i'm afraid to be in love because i think that love is going to hurt so badly. i'm afraid it's going to wear me down and break me until i cannot stand on my own. i'm afraid that i'll give so much to one person and be left with nothing when they leave. i'm afraid they'll always leave. i'm afraid that it will hurt so much. i'm afraid to be in love.
