I was in the bathroom of my apartment getting my hair and make-up done for my date with my best guy friend that I've been trying to ask out for weeks but he's always turned me down because he thinks that I've been hurt enough and he's afraid to do the same to me as my ex did.

Felt picture perfect

On and off a shelf to a broken friend of mine

A broken friend of mine

It comes back and haunts me

A bullet under cover, fooled me every time, fooled me every time

I thought about the relationship that me and my ex had. We were together for about a year. He broke things off because he was in love with someone else and I was emotionally scared by it. But that was when I was sixteen. I'm eighteen now you can't dwell on something that you never had. I will find 'the one' that I will call my 'love' and I'm not afraid of admitting it anymore.

But even if I lose it all

I got so much left to give, I won't give up

No no

I went downstairs to get everything ready. I was meeting him at the park with a basket full of munchies. I grabbed my basket and my keys and headed off to the park. All I could think of on my ride there was how was I going to convince him that I'm over my ex and that my heart is opened to new opportunities.

My hearts on the frontline

I'm not afraid

I got to the park entrance taking in the beauty of the blue sky and the funny shaped cloud. The birds were singing. The squirrels were harvesting peanuts in their cheeks. This is going to be a good day to start this date.

I turned around to see my best friend standing there with a huge grin on his face. He looked between me and the basket as he leaned in to give me a hug. I embraced him taking in the scent that I've been tempting for my whole entire life.

We finished eating as we both layed there next to each other, taking in the beautiful sky together.

"Are you sure that your ready to let love in again?"

He asked me as I sat up to get a better view of his facial expression which was extremely serious.

"Of course. I've always loved you. I've just never had the guts to tell you before."

I twirled around a daisy from the grass on my finger as he sighed and started to talk again,

"How come you are able to just say it so easily now?"

He asked me as I stopped playing with the daisy and looked at him straight in the blue eyes,

"I'm not afraid of love anymore. I would say anything for you. I'd risk everything for because I feel like I can love you like I've never been hurt because I know you will never hurt me. I've always wanted to be with you. Nows my chance to tell you how I feel."

I will love you, like I've never been hurt

Run through fire for you, like I've been burned

I'm gonna risk it all like I never lost

Gonna give it all I've got

I will love you, I will love, like I've never been hurt

Never been hurt

"But he has hurt you pretty badly. I've seen how you were so woken after you guys broke up."

He pleaded as in asking me not to fall too hard for anyone again,

"Of course I needed to breakdown. It's part of the process of letting it go. Now that I have. I'm ready to love again."

He sighed as he layed back down,

"You were there for me to pick me back up when I fell. For my dance recitals. For whenever I needed someone to just talk to. You picked me up when I was feeling down. You made me feel light instead of dark. You were the only one who ever cared for me. Why can't you see that?"

You set fire to ashes, you fought through the darkness, and brought me back to life

You brought me back to life

But even if I lose it all

I got so much left to give, I won't give up

No no

My heart is on the frontline, not afraid

I will love you, like I've never been hurt

Run through fire for you, like I've been burned

I'm gonna risk it all like I never lost

Gonna give it all I've got

I will love you, I will love, like I've never been hurt

Never been hurt

I will love you and forever, I will love you like I never, like I never heard goodbye, like I never heard a lie, like I'm falling into love for the first time

Yeah yeah

He stayed silent as he just kept laying there. Not bothering with anything I've just said.

"Don't you love me?"

I asked him hurt of his response of just doing nothing,

"No, no I do. Don't get me wrong. I just. I just want you all to myself. But I can't do that to you."

He said showing a tiny bit of emotion in his facial expression and 100% of emotion in his tone,

"And why not?"

I asked him getting more hurt by the minute,

"I-I just-"

I cut him off by pressing my lips on to his before he could say anything else. We've both been hurt by two people we really loved. But it doesn't really matter. We had to get through some heartbreaks to find the one we truly love.

"I-I love you."

He whispered as we parted our lips and let our foreheads rest together,

"I love you too."

We smiled as we both realized that without any words. We've gotten over our argument and have finally given in to love.

I will love you, like I've never been hurt

Run through fire for you, like I've been burned

I'm gonna risk it all like I never lost

Gonna give it all I've got

I will love you, I will love, like I've never been hurt

Never been hurt
