I am not afraid to love
someone whose eyes sparkle
someone whose passion pours out of their pores
I am not afraid to love
Someone in a moment of their monotonous and mundane weeks
Or someone who wants to be left entirely alone
I am not afraid to love
Someone who is wrong and fights to be right
Someone who is arrogant and hot tempered
I am not afraid to love
Someone with minor or major flaws
Someone with insecurities as vast as the ocean
I am not afraid at all.
But I am afraid
that after loving someone with all my might
And investing an entire new routine of fitting them into my thought pattern, my heart, my soul, and knowing that everything I see echoes them
They fizzle out
And particles remain
To remind me
of what I do not have anymore
And was I never enough to be stained onto their lives?
I am not afraid to love
Those who can love me back
And love me back
And love me back
And love me
back.
