I admit I was afraid to love
but not just love
to love you
you were a stunning mystery
you carried things deep inside
that no one had yet to understand
and I
well, I was afraid to fail like the others
you were the ocean
and I was just someone who loved the waves
but was completely terrified to swim
and I'm so scared that I'll stay here
being in love with you
waiting for you
and then in the end
you'll just leave
you are not mine and sometimes
I pretend that you wish you were
I create this idea that you secretly want me
and I often forget it's just something I've made up
because in reality
you do not want me
and you are not mine
but the saddest and most awful truth you will ever come to find is
that the someone who
started that fire in you
the one that cannot die
they are not always with whom we spend our lives
