When we first met,

My mind was troubled, from fear and exhaustion to the idea of love.

I smile and glance in every way, yet you see through me on what I feel inside;

I was hiding my true identity, not knowing you’ll accept it fully.

I am scared and we both feel the same way that maybe it’s not meant for us.

I am scared but you don’t know.

I am scared of trying to know someone and end up hurting or be hurt.

I did try to get to know you, but I know it was not enough.

You became my friend and someone that I can lean on;

From heartbreaks to happiness.

I always felt that urge to talk to you but limit myself if I have to.

There’s this boundary that keeping us apart, and it has become my guidance to be careful from you.

I was able to open up and be who I am;

I do not pretend for you do not care;

I am still scared if ever you will see my flaws,

the scars that I have every bit of insecurities that is within me.

Yet you always say, you love every part of me.

I told you my life, even the tragedies that happened to me.

I cried every time I did try to open up.

And there's this different feeling...

I never knew a person that would make me feel as if I’m the most special one in their life.

I will cherish every part of you and I know you’ll do the same for me.
