you are fearless
you have never been in love before
but I have.
please take it easy with me.
I have scars and scares I am
still getting over.

there are some things you should know.
like how being in love
has nothing to do with commitment.
you can still come and go
in love.
sometimes it is because
you are in love that you leave.

so maybe that is why I don’t
say it as often.
it is not that I do not feel in love
it may be that I am just
learning to let myself
feel in love again.

because I know what it is like
to break promises
and to have promises broken.
