Doesn't Mean

Just because I'm not jealous doesn't mean I'm not scared.
Being scared doesn't always mean I want to curl in a ball.
Not wanting to curl into a ball doesn't mean I know how to handle my fears.
Not knowing how to handle my fears doesn't mean I'm brave.
Not being brave doesn't mean I'm scared 24/7.
Not being scared 24/7 doesn't mean you should let me go.
Just because you shouldn't doesn't mean you can't.
Just because you can doesn't mean you will.
I know you won't because you love me.
Because you love me doesn't mean I love you.
