Wouldn't it be wonderful to fall in love?
Wouldn't it be a tragedy to fall in love?
I want to fall in love.
I don't want to fall in love.
I want to have someone special to me.
Being deeply attached to someone would only lead to hurt.
I want to become someone special to that person.
I don't want to feel special for a moment, then nothing at all.
I want to experience romantic things, like in the movies.
Those kinds of drama and heartbreak are a pain.
I want to spend each and every moment with that person.
To be left with memories- for fragments of that person in everything I see and everywhere I go- will only be a burden.
I want to be intimate with that person- from kisses to midnight conversations.
Doing that would only expose my vulnerability, giving that person a chance to hurt me.
I want to hold that person's hand anywhere I go, feeling safe and worry-free.
Needing someone to hold onto for direction is a childish thing and that would cause me to be lost without them.
I want to accept that person for all that they are.
What I have in my life right now is more than enough, so anything else is troublesome.
I want to give all of myself to that person, wholeheartedly.
I can't trust myself to anyone because in the end, they'd fail me anyway and I'd be nothing.
We'd give each other gifts and memoirs.
Things that would haunt me whenever I see them, reminding me of what we used to be.
And we'd be together forever and ever, no matter what.
That's not something I can commit to, if there was even such a thing.
I hope to fall in love because it brings people joy.
As well as pain and sorrow.
