New Love
I am frightened. Not since reckless youth have I allowed my gaurd to fall so quickly, and so completely. I didn't mean for this to happen. Old fires burned again brightly for just a moment with grief to fan the flames. We both needed shoulders to cry on. The question that burned so brightly in my mind, was how long could we keep eachother smiling after the tears ran dry? Did you mean all that you said to me in sorrows grip? Know that I shall never love another as I loved you. You can never be replaced. I needed time to think and he offered me the small comfort of a warm body to fall asleep beside. I never imagined I'd allow myself to feel again so soon, but I do, and to a degree that frightens me to my core. I never ecpected this, & he didn't ask for it, yet here I am, standing terrified with a piece of my heart in my hands wondering if he'll accept it and hoping that in return he has a piece for me.
