Safety.
The safer option would've been to forget you, give you a real chance to forget me.
The safer option should've been me convincing myself there are "other fish in the sea". But they wouldn't have been my mermaid.
Your eyes settle the constant ongoing battle between my chest and head.
Your heart makes me believe in fairy tales, and that maybe I've been deserving of love after all. Deserving of your love.
My little nerd, my pure Hufflepuff that believes I can be saved. Loving a Slytherin who spent decades believing I couldn't be.
You see potential, where I see a liability. You trust in hope, while I always trusted my armor.
You have always loved me for me, and never asked me to change myself. You've only ever asked me, to let you love me.
You know my mind, you know my heart, you know my soul, you know my body.
My mind keeps you up there, rent free. My heart keeps you as deep as a brand. My souls is forever linked to yours. My body only trusts you, as you always leave it trembling.
Edmund Spenser said the "other fish in the sea" quote. Meaning, there's billions of souls on this floating rock.. as love is some kind of numbers game.
For us, that couldn't be farther from the truth.
Once I met you, all options were second place to you.
No one loves me like you do. No one can be both, sexy and soft like you. No one has a scream tank laugh like you do. No one else could be my favorite notification, my home, my lover, my person.
The Sorting Hat could sort us a thousand times over, we could be kidnapped by Borgs, and captured by Mandolorians.. I'd still end up exactly where I was meant to be, being loved by a girl who has taught me that love isn't choosing the easiest future.
Its realizing that, love needs to be fought for daily. Effort is the bare minimum, and you can't ignore a love that has always felt like it was written in the stars.
