i'm scared. i'm scared because i wanna love you with everything that i got. But who's to say that everything that i got to you is a lot? What if someone some place else can pour a lot more into your cup? What if someone somewhere else can steal my place when I mess this all up? What if. What if. What if I'm just scared to love you in the same way that I loved her? Cause obsession and the fear of neglectio is a part of my character. So exactly what pushed her away would probably push you away too. And I fear that it would hurt 10 times worse Cause I think that I think that I'm in love with you. I think that I can see a future. But at the same time I see a future of losing you too. So exactly what action am I supposed to even do? What route is logical to pursue? If anything, is it jeopardizing us for me to stay with you? I'm just scared. I'm just scared. I'm scared cause I wanna love you with everything that I got. But I can't give everything. Cause to be honest, my ex is still holding on to quite a lot. I'm still not over her. And I'm afraid that day will never come. I feel like part of me will always love her. And I'm scared cause what if I can't give my all to someone? What if. What if. What if I can't feel what I felt with her in the past, what if that causes me to be distant and our relationship doesn't last? What if I see her when I look at you? What if I'm hit with some sort of deja vu? What if I see her in the things that we used to do? Or what if. What if. What if that all causes me to not love you? Like, what am I to even do? If you liked that poem there's plenty more just like it in my new book Loved and Lost vol. 1 which is available on Amazon or if you click the link in my bio
