The thought of you.

The thought of you frightens me.

It makes every single bone in my body quiver with fear.

But maybe it isn’t you- maybe it’s the thought of seeing you again. The dread of possibly falling in love with your deep green eyes or the way you tousle your hair across your forehead.

Maybe it’s the way you speak; the way your lips softly caress each word that falls from your tongue.

I fear your touch, in the form of a casual handshake or a friendly hug, for every touch sends fireworks in my heart- with both pain and the wonder.

Your presence makes me weak and that is why I am afraid.

I despair the thought of letting myself fall for you once again, because the first time nearly killed me and my pathetically patched heart.

Lovely!!!

A conflict between two parts of a heart, one wants to love but the other part reminds it of the past pain that the whole heart went through... I can feel the confusion and fear in this write... Our broken hearts acts the same way, it craves love yet it fears to get broken again so it tries to stay away and hidden inside it's shell... Such a nice and honest way you have presented the feelings of once broken heart...

Sincerely

You've really told it how it is. Heartbreak is one of the great pains on the Earth, yet the heart keeps yearning for the one who hurt it so. Very well-written story you have here.

Fear and disappointment. Defenses we do need. Better to be safe and sorry.
