It's hard being vulnerable. To lay all your feelings on the line and give that one person the chance to rip your heart out and stomp on it while praying that they don't. To feel naked and exposed. It takes courage... So much courage to let someone in and trust that they won't hurt you as others have done in the past. To have faith that they will stay, as no one else has.
It's terrifying to realize that those feelings may not be returned. And, if they are returned, the other party may not know what to do with said feelings. Maybe there's too much going on in their life, maybe they aren't ready to make a commitment and are just wanting to go slowly and take each day as it comes... Maybe they're just as afraid as you are. Regardless of all these things, put yourself out there. We aren't promised tomorrow. All we can do is make today the best day we can and tell those we care about how much they mean to us.
Thoughts circle and entwine in my head, driving me crazy, as I try to figure out whether there are feelings on your end or not. The echoes of previous conversations dance in my memories and I become dizzy. I'm trying to be patient... Waiting for a reply I know may never come. You said you thought you made it obvious- I'm screaming my feelings at you! Do you still care? When did you stop?
A breeze blows through my window, rustling the blinds and causing a stray strand of hair to tickle my cheek. A few more hours pass; still nothing. I don't expect a reply anymore... I'm just saddened that my honesty ruined our friendship. I want your happiness above everything else... Even when I may not be a part of it.
