if you are worried
to rip your heart
wide open
let me tell you
let me ease you
it is ok.
it is ok to bear your soul
to someone else
even if they do not
stick around
to hear your whole story.
there is always that risk.
but without risk
there can be no reward.
(that is
a little something
i learned in psychology.)
it is true.
i loved
and i lost.
as did many others before me.
as will many others in the future.
as i will again.
yes. that's right.
i will always take that risk.
even after all that happened.
because even though it nearly
drowned
me
it was worth it.
life would be so
boring
without knowing that
love like he showed me
exists.
life would be so
boring
if none of this had
ever happened.
please.
whoever you are.
always take that risk.
you may be surprised
at what you find
about yourself.
