Willing to try for you

You know, the only thing I've tried to protect all my life is my heart. You want to know why?  I've seen my mom broken by love. I've seen people change, they went from being shields for each other, to being the thing that destroyed them. My best friend cried for months because she lost him but, I couldn't help from getting mine broken too. I was willing to try for you. I was tired of being the girl that everyone called heartless. I have loved you for years, and I wanted to prevent us from destroying how we see each other, people never understood. I wanted to protect your heart as I was protecting mine. I knew I could kill everything on my way, maybe because the more I was trying to prevent that the more my love for You was growing, maybe because once you let your guard down you become vulnerable. With you everything was colorful, your love for me was so pure that I wanted to keep it forever, but when you tell what you feel it's like you already made your mind, like you were prepared for the greatest fall of your life. I promised myself that I would never tell you. I didn't want to be the one to hurt you first, but the more I tried to hide it, the more I felt like it was consuming me. Yes, I kissed you, a kiss is what seal love, right? That's why people kiss when they marry, at least I want to think that's the reason why, I always find that part the most beautiful. I wanted to show you, how my love could be beautiful.
