I had told myself once,

That I wouldn't fall in love,

And I told myself,

That I wouldn't let people in.

I didn't follow through on that.

I fell in love,

I let people in.

And that scares me.

I gave these people the opportunity to hurt me,

Break me,

Shatter me,

Into a million pieces.

What if they don't stay?

Please stay,

I'm scared.
