when i love, i love intensely.

i give myself completely. my chest cracks open, my heart slips out, it pours all over pages, all over lips,

it rests in the hands of my lover.

i feel love deeply, intensely, dramatically.

acutely.

i’ll dedicate my life to studying it, to understanding it, i know.

when i love, i begin to dream. i fall in love hard and fast, i fall in love (and out of love) completely and quickly, i am predictably unpredictable.

often, my falling in love is dangerous. it requires sacrifice, i lose myself in its power, it consumes me, and in most ways, it becomes more destructive than anything.

not with you.

i know that falling in love with you is the safest thing I could possibly do.

and i’ll spend the rest of my life trying to understand why.
