longing (a letter to my future darling)

[97Bunny11]

I long for connection

But I’m scared to connect.

I long for something real,

But I fear that my mind has delved

In too far to the abyss of fakeness.

I want to be alone.

But I don’t like being alone.

I long for you.

But I’m scared of tasting the

Poison of reality.

I have yet to sip from a

Lover’s cup, and yet,

Just the topic of love is already

Making me anxious.

I long to hold you,

To touch you.

But I fear instead of a

Cushion of warmth, I

Will be pricked by the

thorns of my inevitable

Future.

A future that mirrors my

Predecessors. A future of

Pain and loveless passes.

I long to meet you,

My love.

My heart aches for you.

But I’m scared.

I’m scared.

Love is scary but it's worth it. You have to open your heart without fear and only then can you really connect with someone. You can't really love or be loved if you are thinking about what could go wrong. It's hard to do that.I understand your fear. I had it for years. But now I don't expect anything I just enjoy the moment and let myself be vulnerable. Nobody knows what is going happen, but if your heart to someone else without expectations you may find love.

I hope you do.

Hi Bunny, impressed by your poetry0remain strong and above all else be true to yourself and try and eliminate fear as thats what creates an artificial veneer and you can and will stand tall when you cast self doubt aside.
