Of Being Vulnerable

I am scared to fall in love with you. But I have.

Love has always been an act of courage for me. I get attached, give it my everything and feel the initial flutter, as well as the hurt.  

Yet I still choose to dive headfirst into it. I choose to live in hope and uncertainty alternately.

You are an unexpected turn
in my life. At first, I didn’t notice it at all. You were one of the few faces I talked to.

Our conversations mean a lot and I give every word my undivided attention.

I want you to know that I am a simple person, and you have always brought me peace. Sukoon. You make the nights less lonely and days are brighter.

I am discovering you. I know I should stop, but I don’t want to. 
We are different in many ways, but you feel like home.

What I am trying to say is, if I am ever difficult, or lost, or sad, or shy, or  if I ever give up, I hope you don’t. I know it’s a lot to ask for, but I hope you stay.

I love you. I am just too scared to say it, yet.
