I see you’ve been hurt before. 

I see you have your walls up. 

I see how you constantly hold back when I tell you how I feel.

But do you notice, it takes everything I have to open up.

It takes everything in me to tell you I care this much.

I am terrified that you might be like my past lovers. 

I am terrified you will leave. 

However, there is something about you that not one of them had.

You have this way about you that I cannot seem to grasp.

This kind of gravity that pulls me in and an aura that takes hold of me.

Being this vulnerable leaves room to be broken, once more.

Although, I hope it shows that I truly care.

I am not your past.

I have been lied to and taken as a fool before. 

You should know you are not the only one.

But you should learn to love again.

To see what loving someone and being loved in return truly feels like.

All I am doing is asking for a chance, before you take it away.
