I was nervous to tell you
Honestly
I didn’t know how you would react,
How people usually react.
My biggest secrets
I think
Carry so much
Weight. Don’t they?
What would you say?
I wondered a while
Would you be angry?
Or would I just make you sad?
But…
you
just
said
that
you
Loved
Me
.
I
Thought it would make
You less inclined
Toward me.
I
Didn’t think I could be loved
Not like this,
Not really.
I don’t think I understand love
What I’ve been taught,
What I’ve experienced.
But I love yours–
Your version.
I don’t know
How you will react when I tell you more,
But something–
Something inside me
Hopes it will be loved.
If I confess
Will you be there to ease my stress?
I worry, nevertheless,
But trust you more, regardless.
