"i've always been afraid of beating hearts, hearts which change their rhythm every day,
fully capable of breaking another.
i've always been afraid of living souls, souls which seem to wander the afterworlds,
coming back home in a disguise.
i've always been afraid of loving, loving which sustains me because a day without that loving
would break me.
i've always been afraid of so many things, so when you came along, i was ready to push you back
into the deepest corners of my mind,
but you managed to crawl right back in front of me, begging me with those big eyes, to let you love me.
maybe it wasn't a bad idea, because, after you, the world didn't seem as scary,
the only thing that scared me was not seeing the light in your eyes daily"
