Favorite Quote:
Fall down seven times, stand up eight.


She stares at her phone all night and all day,
She thinks of him,
all day, all night, during songs,
and even during her dreams.

She'll see a cute couple;
in school, at the mall, and wondering around.
She hopes that one day soon,
that cute couple will be her and him.

When he says hi,
he makes her entire day.
She's in love, deeply.

She's afraid, though.
She's afraid that he'll turn out like the rest.
She's seen it before,
with her dad, her uncle, and past boyfriends.

He believes he knows,
but in reality,
he doesn't.

He wishes that they met sooner,
but that was nearly impossible
with over a few hundred kids in one school
and no classes together.
He wishes they were older,
so they could be closer.

He loves her,
he really does.

He's trying so hard to show her,
that he's not like everyone in the past.
He's trying to show her,
to have her believe,
that she's truly beautiful

He doesn't want to hurt her,.
So, he promises that he won't.
But he's afraid.
He's scared that he'll let her down.
He's afraid that she won't love him the same.

He wouldn't be able to handle the pain.
He's in love.
He's in love, deep.

Yet,
neither of them know.

I'm in love with this kid, and I don't think he quite understands how much I love him as much as I vocalize it. I'm the one that's usually hurt, and I know he's trying but at the same time, I know for a fact, I don't know the entire truthful story as much as I wish I did. All I know about his love that he tells me, is that he said that he wishes he could marry me right now. The thing is, with me being as fragile as I am, and with everything I know.. I didn't trust it. Especially since we're only teenagers with the mindsets of thinking we know everything.
So, I decided to write about me, him and anyone else who has felt like this because I know I'm not the only one.

So, here's to those who are;
afraid to fall in love.
thinking of that one right now,
upset,
scared,
alone,
going through heartbreak,
and everyone else.
I love you all and I know together, we can help each other in one way or another.
(ps. that sounded like a great motivational speech, but hey! I mean it. We'll help each other, somehow, someway. "Don't stop believin'.")
