I was scared before to say “I love you.” Because I didn’t know what it meant. I didn’t know what I meant when I said it. I didn’t know what it was supposed to mean.
I know what it means to me now. When I say “I love you,” it means that you have my heart, for better or worse. It means that I can’t give up, and can’t walk away. Because I need to give it my all as much as I need to breathe. That there are no more filters and walls between what I’m feeling and what I’m saying like there were before when I was trying to protect myself or trying to keep myself from being too affected. I’m going to let if affect me however it does, because every bit of my heart is in it. I don’t care if it hurts, if it stings, or if it brings me down, because that’s better than pushing you away to avoid the pain.
You have me. I am yours. That’s it. And I wouldn’t have it any other way.
