It's crazy, isn't it,
how we fall in love.
How something can be
both terrifying and exhilarating,
how we hand someone our heart
knowing they could break it
at any moment.
And yet,
maybe that is the bravest thing
a person can ever do.
To love anyway.
To open the door,
knowing there are no guarantees.
To let someone see the pieces
you usually keep hidden.
To choose vulnerability
when fear tells you to run.
So don't be afraid to love loudly.
Love quietly when the world is sleeping.
Love privately in the moments
that belong only to two hearts.
And love openly,
without shame,
without apology.
Because one day,
when the story is over,
the greatest thing you can say
is not that you were never hurt.
It's that you were brave enough
to love completely.
Let the world know
you loved.
Let your heart know
you loved.
And even if it didn't last forever,
let it never be said
that you were afraid
to give forever a chance.
